Edgbaston Test rescheduled between India And England is getting more interesting every day as the Kohli-Bairstow jokes are mixed with spice. In the last few days, both have been seen talking to each other on the field. The next day the commotion started when Virat Kohli Tried to sledge the Englishman using Tim Southee’s name. After the day’s play ended, the two were seen leaving the field with a smile on their face as Kohli placed a hand on Bairstow’s shoulders.
However, things turned a little serious on Sunday when the former India captain was heard saying, “Shut up. Just stand up and bat,” at the stump mic. In fact, the on-field umpire and England captain Ben Stokes, batting at the non-striker’s end, had to intervene.
The verbal brawl probably served as a morale boost for Bairstow, who scored a century against India on the third day of the ongoing Test. But soon after scoring triple points, he was caught at slip by Kohli and was dismissed for 106.
After the stumps on Sunday, Bairstow interacted with the broadcasters and opened up on his on-field struggle with Virat.
“We have been playing solid against each other for ten years. It’s a little crazy. We are very competitive on the field and that is what it is about. We are playing Test cricket and we are two competitors. It brings out the best of us. Whatever it takes, you want to get your team over the line and it’s part and parcel of the game,” Jonny Bairstow told Sky Sports.
