Indian cricketer Tilak Verma has etched his name in the record books with an extraordinary world record in T20 International cricket. The 22-year-old left-handed batter has accumulated an unprecedented 318 runs in his last four T20 matches without being dismissed, showcasing incredible consistency and composure.
Verma’s latest milestone came during the second match of India’s ongoing home series against England, where he scored an unbeaten 72 runs. This performance extended his streak and solidified his position as the first batter in history to score over 300 runs in T20 Internationals without losing his wicket.
Breaking Records
Tilak Verma surpassed the previous record held by New Zealand’s Mark Chapman, who had scored 271 runs without being dismissed. Verma’s streak began with remarkable centuries of 107 and 120 against South Africa, followed by scores of 19 and his recent unbeaten 72 against England.
His achievement also eclipsed records set by Australian greats Aaron Finch (240 runs) and David Warner (239 runs), placing Verma in a league of his own among the world’s finest T20 players.
India’s Series Performance
India’s T20 campaign against England has been equally thrilling. In the first T20I in Kolkata, India chased down England’s total of 165-9 with a seven-wicket victory. Despite being reduced to 78-5, Tilak Verma’s 72* guided the team to a remarkable win, supported by Washington Sundar (26) and Abhishek Sharma (12).
England’s bowlers, including Jofra Archer, struggled to contain India, with Archer conceding 60 runs. India secured the victory with four balls to spare and now aims to extend their series lead in the third match scheduled in Rajkot.
A Benchmark for Future Stars
Tilak Verma’s record-breaking streak sets a new standard for T20 batting. His consistency, technique, and ability to handle pressure highlight his potential as a future star of Indian cricket. With the series still underway, fans eagerly await more stellar performances from the young left-hander.
