The start of the third day of the test match being played between India and England (IND vs ENG) at Edgbaston began with a debate. Only a few overs were thrown in the first session as there was an altercation between Virat Kohli and Jonny Bairstow. The matter had escalated so much that even the referee had to intervene. Bairstow has now spoken out on this debate with Virat.
After the end of the third day game, Bairstow said: ‘We’ve been playing against each other for 10 years. This is a fun type of activity. We are playing test cricket and we are both competitive. We have to give our best. You want to take your team forward in the game and do whatever it takes to do that. It’s part of the game.
This incident occurred in the 32nd of England’s innings. To divert Bairstow’s attention, Virat constantly commented while he was standing on the slips. When Bairstow retaliated for this, Virat was furious. An altercation began between the two. In the last one, Virat Kohli motioned for Bairstow to hit quietly. After this the referee intervened.
