Tilak Varma sets new world record during IND vs ENG 2025 2nd T20I match

As mentioned ahead, Varma is enjoying a purple patch in his T20I career right now. He smashed back-to-back unbeaten centuries during India's tour of South Africa in November and followed it up with an unbeaten 19* in the first T20I against England.

Thanks to his 72* off 55 in the second T20I, Varma has broken New Zealand all-rounder Mark Chapman's record for the most runs in T20Is without being dismissed. Varma has scored 318 runs since the last time he lost his wicket. Chapman previously held the top spot with 271 runs.
