Virender Sehwag Shuts Down Troll Over Reply To His Virat Kohli-Jonny Bairstow Tweet

Virender Sehwag, known for his witty sense of humour, came up with an epic reply after a Twitter user tried to troll him over a post on Virat Kohli riling up Jonny Bairstow. Kohli had sledged Bairstow on Day 3 of the rescheduled 5th Test between India and England at Edgbaston, and soon after, the batter, who was struggling initially, switched gears and tore into the Indian attack. Jonny Bairstow's "Strike Rate before Kohli's Sledging -: 21. Post Sledging - 150. Pujara ki tarah khel rahe thhey, Kohli ne Pant banwa diya bewajah sledge karke (He was playing like Pujara, Kohli turned him into Pant with his unnecessary sledging)," Sehwag had tweeted during Bairstow's knock.

"He Is A Warrior": Mohammed Siraj On Star India Batter

Speaking to reporters after the close of play on Day 3, Siraj talked about his mindset, the pitch conditions and he even termed Pujara a "warrior".

India vs England 2022, 5th Test: Virat Kohli altercation riles up Jonny Bairstow

Jonny Bairstow has been England’s most in-form batter this year. In fact, he is the leading run-getter in 2022 in Test cricket. Yet, the man who terrorised New Zealand, with two brutal hundreds, could hardly lay bat on ball as Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah put him through a trial by fire late on day two as he went back unbeaten on 12 off 47 balls to fight another day. He would have hoped that a brighter forecast with the sun out on day three at Edgbaston on Sunday, would have made life a lot easier. But he didn’t find any favours from both Bumrah and Shami. Shami was relentless with his line and cut Bairstow into half at least a dozen times. He also used the away-going delivery smartly to induce the false shot. He remained scoreless for 20 deliveries as all the talk of 'Bazball' went out of the window.

India vs England 2022, 5th Test: Advantage India as Cheteshwar Pujara, Rishbah Pant consolidate after England's fightback

England, who had started proceedings at 84 for five, were bowled out for 284, giving India a sizeable lead of 132, despite a counter-attacking hundred for the ages by England’s man in form, Jonny Bairstow (106, 140 balls, 14x4, 2x6). Advantage India, many felt. But under skipper Ben Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum, this England team knows how to fight. They prized out the scalps of Shubman Gill and Hanuma Vihari and more importantly Virat Kohli, caught off a rebound in the slips by Joe Root off a beauty from Stokes that bounced and seamed off a length. It was the second change of ball out of three that did the trick for Stokes and England as Kohli and Cheteshwar Pujara were looking totally untroubled and Kohli, with a couple of gorgeous cover drives, looked in the mood. The ball change seemed to help the bowlers get more bounce and movement that triggered Kohli’s fall.
