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.

Michael Vaughan Cites Sachin Tendulkar's Example For Struggling England Batter

Former England skipper Michael Vaughan was critical of opening batter Zak Crawley's form, saying that the bowlers have found his weakness. Crawley has struggled to score runs of late, and was dismissed on a score of nine on Day 2 of the ongoing fifth Test against India at Edgbaston in Birmingham. Vaughan recalled India batting great Sachin Tendulkar's initial struggles against Australia in 2004, before he decided to nullify the drive and ended up scoring 241 in Sydney.

Jasprit Bumrah Sets New India Wickets Record For A Series In England

Stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah has set a new record for the most wickets taken by an India bowler during a Test series in England. His haul of 3-68 -- which included all of England's top three -- in the Covid delayed fifth Test at Edgbaston gave him 21 wickets in a five-match campaign that started last year.

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.

WI vs BAN: West Indies Ease To Victory In 2nd T20I vs Bangladesh

Contrasting half-centuries by Rovman Powell and Brandon King highlighted a formidable West Indies batting effort on the way to a 35-run victory over Bangladesh in the second T20 international in Dominica on Sunday. Powell's blistering 61 not out off 28 balls and opener King's more measured 57 from 43 deliveries paced the home side to 193 for five batting first in ideal conditions. Despite an unbeaten 68 from Test captain Shakib Al Hasan, the visitors lacked urgency through their innings and were limited to 158 for six in reply.
