India and New Zealand will meet in the third match of their five-game T20I series on October 27. The match is scheduled to take place in Wellington, where Team India will aim to extend its 2-0 lead and clinch the series. Tilak Varma has made valuable contributions to India’s victories in the first two games and will now have an opportunity to achieve a significant personal milestone.
Tilak Varma Closing In On 100 T20I Sixes
Tilak Varma delivered an impressive performance in the second T20I, smashing 51 runs off just 26 deliveries to help India secure another victory. The left-handed batter will be eager to continue his strong form in the upcoming encounter.
According to the statistics provided, Tilak has scored 1,989 runs in 72 T20I appearances for India at an average of 44.13 and a strike rate of 147.47. He has also struck 146 fours and 94 sixes in the format.
If Tilak manages to hit six sixes in the third T20I, he will reach the landmark of 100 sixes in T20 Internationals. Achieving this feat would put him among a select group of Indian batters who have reached the milestone.
