Jonny Bairstow didn’t hold back either when he told her to keep blathering on her own gestures. In response, Virat Kohli put his index finger to his lips to tell her to shut up.
The heated exchange turned intense for the time being. This caused the referee to intervene and defuse the situation.
Jonny Bairstow downplayed the incident with Virat Kohli later. He said they are competitive players who do what they love on the field.
He added that both teams are passionate about their country. He went on to say that the situation was funny and he hoped it would clear things up.
