Tilak Varma has played a lone hand by shepherding India across the finish line against England with an unbeaten 72 off 55 balls in the second Twenty20 in Chennai.

"I feel India has got a huge superstar, and he can become an all-format player. It's not that he is only a T20 player. Considering the maturity he showed today (India vs. England 2nd T20I), he has the ability to be a match-winner for India for many years. So I feel he should be backed in every format," said Rayudu.

Tilak Varma's unbeaten 72 off 55 balls helped India chase down a 166-run target, overcoming a difficult situation in the second T20I against England. Varma's performance earned him the Player of the Match award and secured a 2-0 lead in the series for India.
