India vice-captain Tilak Varma scored an unbeaten 51 off 25 balls in the second T20I against New Zealand, helping India chase 181 with one ball to spare and take a 2-0 lead in the five-match series. He and Nitish Reddy added 69 runs for the seventh wicket after India were struggling at 112-6. New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner took 4-21, while Glenn Phillips scored 70 and Bevon Jacobs 58 to help their team reach 180-5.
Varma said he thrives under pressure, believing bowlers face more stress in the final overs. He also recalled his match-winning performances against Pakistan, including an unbeaten 51 against them earlier in October 2026. India are aiming for a 5-0 series sweep, with the fourth T20I to be played in Auckland.
