From being a gentleman’s game, the ongoing clash between India and England at the Lord’s has got everyone riled up. What started with the banter between James Anderson and Jasprit Bumrah on the third day’s play has boiled down to many verbal fights on the pitch. Bumrah was seen getting engaged in another banter with Jos Buttler and the Indian skipper, Virat Kohli was seen riled up after the incident.
Day 4 also saw Anderson and Indian skipper Virat Kohli indulge in a verbal fight. The stump mic caught Kohli telling Anderson, “You are swearing at me? Like you did to Bumrah?. This isn’t your f**king backyard” Anderson must have said something more which was inaudible and Kohlu was heard saying, “Yeah yeah yeah, Chirp chirp chirp”.
