Sledging returns to Cricket with vengeance.
Virat Kohli and Jonny Bairstow entered into a heated conversation on the field during the third day of the test match.
Soon after the third day’s play, both cricketers exchanged a few words.
During the 33rd over, when Jasprit Bumrah was bowling, Kohli was heard saying, “Shut up. Just stand and bat” to Bairstow.
On-field umpires had to step in and Kohli was seen speaking and having a conversation with the officials.
On his way back to the slips, the former India skipper looked furious as he kept telling something to Bairstow.
Kohli put his fingers on his lips probably directing the Englishmen to stop talking and focus as there was plenty of drama in the first 30 minutes.
