Tilak Varma Credits Bowlers For India's T20I Series Win

Tilak Varma acknowledged the contributions of India's bowlers in securing the T20I series win against New Zealand. He highlighted the effectiveness of the team's death-over yorkers and middle-overs bowling.

Indian bowlers limited New Zealand to 180 and 198 in the second and third matches of the series, compared to 225 in the first game. This improvement was attributed to the efforts of Sanju Samson, Tilak, and Abhishek Sharma.

Varma emphasized the importance of consistent bowling in the middle and death overs, particularly noting Prince Yadav's execution of yorkers when the team needed them most.

India is set to face New Zealand in the fourth T20I on Friday in Auckland. Varma mentioned the challenge of shorter boundaries in the match, stressing the need for crucial overs and yorker execution.

Varma, who has become a reliable finisher in run chases, played a key role in India's tense chase during the second T20I against New Zealand, alongside Nitish Reddy.

India now holds an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-match series. Varma noted his adaptation to batting at number five or six, focusing on hitting boundaries only when opportunities arise.
