Jonny Bairstow and Virat Kohli had a heated altercation on Day 3 of the IND vs ENG 5th test. The duo exchanged words in the middle of the pitch, which was caught on camera. Kohli is known for his aggressiveness on the field, however, the former captain’s ploy fell flat massively as India were made to pay.
Bairstow initially struggled to deal with the barrage of the Indian pace attack, but following the altercation with Kohli, the English star went into overdrive. The Englishman was batting on 20 off just 61 balls, before going berserk, shifting gears seamlessly.
