\n\nIndia pulled off a heist by chasing down the target of 181 against New Zealand in the second T20I of the five-match series to take a 2-0 lead. Reeling at 112/6 after 14.5 overs, India were in a spot of bother and needed special innings from Tilak Varma and Nitish Kuma Reddy. The star Indian players punished the NZ bowlers and added 69 runs for the seventh wicket to propel the Men in Blue to a famous win. Tilak, the vice-captain of the T20I team, remained unbeaten on 51 off 26 balls. He batted at a strike rate of 196.15. Nitish batted at a strike rate of 200 and remained unbeaten on 26 off 13 balls.
\n\nFollowing the game, head coach Gautam Gambhir shared a special post for India's match-winners. “Boys becoming Men," he wrote on X. His post featured Tilak, Nitish and Naman Dhir.
\n\nNaman, who has been enjoying a purple patch since his debut, scored a crucial 31 off 17 balls. He took the lead role during his 42-run partnership with Tilak and scored 31.
