Starting the Day 3 of the Edgbaston Test between India and England, the visitors are in a comfortable position. Putting up 416 runs in the first innings and then taking five wickets with England’s score reading 84 at Stumps on Day 2. Rain interrupting the game play on the first 2 days. But Day 3 started on time and the proceedings got off to a fiery start. Fans got the glimpse of vintage Kohli as Virat Kohli and Jonny Bairstow got involved in a heated exchange of words.
It’s tense out there between Bairstow and Kohli
The cameras caught Kohli first walking up to Bairstow signalling him to stand in his crease. Then the former India skipper was seen making hand gestures. He was then seen gesturing Bairstow to stay quiet. England captain Ben Stokes finally intervened and was seen having a word with Kohli. Which then saw the star Indian batter approach Bairstow with a big smile. Bairstow then gave him what looked like a friendly punch on the arm. On Day 2 of the ongoing Test, Kohli and Bairstow were seen walking off together during one of the rain breaks, with both players laughing.
