Tilak Varma says India aim for 5-0 T20I series sweep

Tilak Varma said India aim for a 5-0 series sweep after remaining unbeaten on 51 off 26 balls in the second T20I against New Zealand. India lead the five-match series 3-0.

Tilak has scored 58 runs in the first three matches, including an unbeaten fifty. He said the team cannot make excuses for the busy schedule and added that he now looks to score a boundary off the first ball only when batting at number five or six.

The fourth T20I is scheduled at Eden Park in Auckland on Friday at 12:30 pm IST. Tilak said he has worked on his off-break bowling with team-management encouragement and enjoys fielding without treating it as a burden.
