Dharamshala: The contest between India and England got heated up during the third day of the fifth Test between the two nations. Jonny Bairstow who was batting at the crease picked up a banter with Shubman Gill. The latter didn’t hold back. The Indian batter came up with a befitting reply to his English counterpart while Sarfaraz Khan and Dhruv Jurel joined the bandwagon.
In the break between the overs, the stump mic caught Bairstow asking Gill about what he said to James Anderson about getting tired after he was dismissed by the veteran's pace. In a tongue and cheek manner, Gill said "So, what? It was after my hundred. How many have you got here?" Bairstow wouldn't have seen the counter-question being fired. Yet, he had to chew that.
The English batter departed back to the pavilion after a few minutes and Sarafaz Khan also passed a comment that ‘Thode se runs kya bana diya, jyada uchal raha hain’ in Hindi, which can be roughly translated to: he has scored a few runs today and is jumping too much.
Watching the incident, many internet users came up with their reactions on social media. One user @RAMANJAISWAL03 wrote on 'X' that Bairstow got a proper farewell.
