NEW DELHI: India’s middle-order batter Tilak Varma credited a calculated strategy for his blistering assault on England pacer Jofra Archer during the second T20I in Chennai on Saturday.
Tilak, who anchored India’s two-wicket victory with an unbeaten 72 off 55 balls, took apart Archer, smashing him for four sixes, including a jaw-dropping flick over deep fine leg. Archer, who had bowled economically in the first match, conceding just 21 runs in his four overs, endured a torrid time at Chepauk, leaking 60 runs in his quota.
