I don't want to know about any other devices, just which one is best between above two.

Neither of them. 8th Gen i5s/i7s are here and both of the laptops have GTX 1050 NON-TI for more than 80k. They aren't worth more than 40-50k at best.

For around 80k, you can get something like this:
GIGABYTE P55Wv7-KL2 15.6" FHD Gaming Laptop + Gaming Bundle - Intel Core i7-7700HQ, Nvidia GTX 1060, 16GB DDR4 RAM, 1TB HDD + 128GB SSD Win 10 (Black) - Newegg.com
Or this:
ASUS ROG GL502VM-DS74 15.6" Intel Core i7 7th Gen 7700HQ (2.80 GHz) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6 GB VR Ready 16 GB Memory 128 GB SSD 1 TB HDD Windows 10 Home 64-Bit Gaming Laptop - Newegg.com
Or this:
GIGABYTE P55 P55Wv7-KL3 15.6" FHD IPS 7th Gen Intel Core i7 7700HQ (2.80 GHz) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 16 GB Memory 256 GB SSD 1 TB HDD Windows 10 Home 64-Bit Gaming Laptop - Newegg.com

These come with international warranty and have 1060 6GB. So, unless you tell us what you intend to do with it, any recommendation won't necessarily be adequate.

I already gave the three links above. If you are in India, it is better to assemble a desktop. Laptops being sold for 100k barely have 1050Ti while same budget gets you a laptop with 1060/1070 + G-sync from USA/Dubai.

Acer helios 300 with 1050Ti was available for 50k in flipkart diwali sale. No other laptop comes to my mind which was priced appropriately in past 2-3 years.

As for the two gaming laptop, I can't give U too much suggestions cause I have never used them before. My laptop is Lenovo Yoga 720 Premium, a little expensive emmmmm, but it's really smooth when U play games. Maybe U can have a try.
Don't recommend crap config for gaming.
1050Ti is a bare minimum for 1080p60 med settings.

I have used Lenovo laptops mostly thinkpads, they are not good.

that's the lowest I can find.

so ALL OPTOINS I HAVE RIGHT NOW ARE -

Dell Inspiron Gaming 5577 AT 66k

MSI GL62 I7 AT 67K

ASUS LAPTOP I MENTIONED ABOVE AT 73K

NO ONE IS GIVING ANY BETTER OPTIONS IN THIS PRICE RANGE. I KNOW I AM GETTING RIPPED OFF BUT WHAT CAN I DO IF I AM NOT FINDING A BETTER OPTION.

SO WHAT SHOULD I DO :(

@mudit47 : from where are u buying the laptops, US or India ?
If US then go for assembled laptops such as Sager or CyberpowerPC.
They offer excellent config at lowest price as compared to MSI/Gigabyte or Dell brands.
