Gautam Gambhir’s Ice-Cold Stare On Arshdeep Singh’s Dismissal That Almost Cost India 2nd T20I vs England Viral | Cricket News

Tilak Varma on Saturday gave a brilliant example of his growing prowess in the Indian T20I team as he played a mature knock of 72* to rescue his side to a second successive win against England in Chennai. He stitched crucial partnerships with the lower order to take India to victory. Among the lower order batters, Washington Sundar scored 26 while Ravi Bishnoi scored crucial nine runs off five balls. Arshdeep Singh also looked like making a significant contribution with the bat before perishing while attempting to go after Adil Rashid. After the dismissal the camera turned towards India coach Gambhir and his ice cold reaction went viral. There was a mild hint of smirk too.

India were eight down after that and the match could have England’s way from there. However, Tilak and Ravi Bishnoi saved the day.
