'He was saying, 'I'll hit' - Tilak Varma reveals hilarious conversation with teammate during 2nd T20I game against England

India's star batter Tilak Varma revealed a fun conversation with Arshdeep Singh which happened during the second T20I match against England. India were chasing a score of 166 runs when a few wickets fell early. Tilak Varma, who came down to bat at No.3 stayed till the end and took the game past the victory line. It was a magnificent win for the hosts and now, they have taken a lead in the series by 2-0. 

During the run chase, when Arshdeep and Tilak were batting, the batters were under immense pressure because the situation was in favor of England. In between that, Arshdeep wanted to hit the ball and kept on insisting Tilak about it. While talking to Star Sports, Tilak opened about the suggestions he gave his teammate to tackle the situation.

"Actually, I was under a lot of pressure. Arshdeep was saying, 'I will hit it. I will hit it. I have to give a single.' So, I thought, on this wicket, Archer can't get you out. On this wicket, Adil Rashid will because his ball was moving a lot. I knew that Arshdeep would try to hit the spinner. I said, 'No, bhai', said Tilak Varma. 

A lot of credit goes to him too: Tilak Varma

Tilak Varma spoke about the way Ravi Bishnoi batted in the game. He scored that much needed boundary against Liam Livingstone in the 19th over which took off the pressure from Varma. 

"And the best thing to see was Ravi Bishnoi's batting. He has done a very good job in nets. He and Varun Chakravarthy did a very good job in batting. I had a lot of faith in both of them that they could play. I told them, 'If you want to hit, you have to hit in the gaps. If you get a single, there is no problem. If you want to bend down on the bouncer, you have to play like Test cricket.' So, actually, Ravi Bishnoi played well. If you see, he hit a flick from the front. A lot of credit goes to him too. Actually, those two fours were very important," added Varma.
