The 22-year-old left-hander showcased his prowess yet again on Saturday, delivering an unbeaten 72-run knock against England in the second T20I held at the iconic MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Facing 55 deliveries, Tilak displayed his class by striking four boundaries and five towering sixes, earning him the coveted Player of the Match award.

Since making his T20I debut against the West Indies in August 2023, Tilak has rapidly established himself as a key player for India. His latest knock of 72 not out propelled him to a remarkable milestone in T20Is.
