Virat Kohli is one of the biggest names in world cricket. The right-handed batter has made a name for himself with his aggressive mindset. Kohli knows how to give the reply with his bat when his opponent sledges him, while he also gets under the skin of his opponents in a war of words on the field.
Earlier this week, Kohli had an argument with Jonny Bairstow during the recently concluded ICC World Test Championship match between the Indian cricket team and the England cricket team. Many fans have given their own versions of transcript for the conversation between Kohli and Bairstow.
It started with Kohli going towards him from the slip region and having a word with Bairstow. The England batter replied in style by scoring two hundreds against India in the space of just four days. Here’s what ECB posted after Bairstow won the match for the England cricket team today:
