Delhi:The manner in which Team India won in the second T20I against New Zealand thrilled the fans. At one time the Indian team was in trouble after losing 6 wickets for 112 runs and achieving the target of 181 runs seemed very difficult.

But Tilak Verma, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Naman Dhir performed brilliantly and led India to victory by 4 wickets. After this victory, head coach Gautam Gambhir made a special post praising the three players.

Gambhir wrote on social media platform X, 'Boys are now becoming men.'

His post included pictures of Tilak Verma, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Naman Dheer. These three players took up the responsibility in difficult times and played an important role in giving India a 2-0 lead in the five-match series.

Tilak and Nitish changed the course of the match

The Indian team had to score fast runs in the last overs to win. At such a time, vice-captain Tilak Verma took charge and scored unbeaten 51 runs in 26 balls.

On the other hand, Nitish Kumar Reddy also fully supported him. Nitish scored unbeaten 26 runs in just 13 balls and attacked the New Zealand bowlers at a strike rate of 200. There was an unbeaten partnership of 69 runs in 30 balls between the two for the seventh wicket, which put the match in India's bag.

Naman Dhir also played an important role

Naman Dheer's innings also cannot be ignored in this match. He scored 31 runs in just 17 balls. Naman along with Tilak made a partnership of 42 runs and took charge of the team at a time when India was under pressure due to continuous fall of wickets.

After Naman's dismissal, Tilak and Nitish took the responsibility and took India to the target. The contribution of all three players showed that the team did not go out of the competition even in difficult circumstances.

Now the focus will be on victory in the third T20I

After registering two consecutive wins against New Zealand, the Indian team is in a strong position in the series. Now the third T20I between the two teams will be played at Henry Stadium in Wellington.

India will try to maintain the same momentum in the next match and further strengthen its lead in the series. At the same time, the New Zealand team will take the field with the intention of making a comeback.
