Published on

The Indian team has reached Chennai for the second T20 match against England. On this occasion, India's young batsman Tilak Varma paid tribute to Mahendra Singh Dhoni of Chennai and said that this city is synonymous with the former captain. The Indian team started the five-match series by winning the first T20 in Kolkata by 7 wickets. Arshdeep Singh and Varun Chakravarthy bowled brilliantly to bowl out England for just 132 runs in the first innings.  

Chasing the target, Abhishek Sharma returned to form and scored 79 runs in 34 balls. Abhishek's innings included 8 sixes and 5 fours. With a 1-0 lead in the series, the Indian team left for Chennai.

The squad, led by head coach Gautam Gambhir, looked very happy. Tilak Varma spoke to the cameraman and said that Chennai reminds him of MS Dhoni and superstar actor Rajinikanth. He also asked local players Washington Sundar and Varun Chakravarthy to send him home-cooked food.  

When the Indian team arrived at the hotel, they were given a rousing welcome by the staff and fans. The second T20I will be played on January 25, starting 7:00 PM IST. There is no possibility of a change in India's playing XI. England, on the other hand, have a lot to think about. They have to come back with a strong strategy.
