A gorgeous delivery is the better way to describe the Adil Rashid delivery that dismissed in-form Tilak Varma, who had scored 336 runs and hadn’t been out in the past few games. He was finally dismissed at the pavilion, courtesy of Adil Rashid, who cleaned him up in his first over. India, chasing 172 runs, are now in trouble as Tilak, in form and coming off a good game in Chennai, was looking solid made . However, in the 3rd T20I against England batting at 18, he became Rashid’s wicket in the 8th over of the game. Varma, on the back foot, was ripped through, and the ball hit the middle stump.
He was deceived through the air and off the pitch. Rashid tossed the ball up, and with 5.7 degrees of turn and over 3 degrees of extra turn from the outside off, it bit the surface with some extra bounce. Varma went back deep in the crease to keep it out but was undone by the turn. He missed the ball completely, and it sneaked through the inside edge to hit the top of middle. Take a look at how Rashid’s impressive turn cleared up Tilak Varma in the third T20I.
