IND vs ENG [Watch] "How many 100s.." epic sledging between Shubman Gill and Jonny Bairstow

Shubman Gill and Jonny Bairstow were involved in a banter during fifth IND vs ENG test in Dharamsala.

England were confident about their India assignment and were more vocal than the hosts before the series began. Despite a poor show in the last four games, England have continued to be at the forefront with war of words. England lost the fifth and final test of the series at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala by an innings and 64 runs while the hosts won the Anthony de Mello Trophy 4-1.

England middle-order batter Jonny Bairstow was playing his 100th test for England in Dharamsala. Bairstow had a poor series with the bat and couldn’t cross the 40-run mark in any of his 10 test innings in the series. Despite a poor show with bat throughout the series, Bairstow attempted to sledge Indian batter Shubman Gill during third day of fifth test in Dharamsala.

The stump mic caught the chat between Jonny Bairstow and Shubman Gill. Later on, wicket-keeper Dhruv Jurel and Sarfaraz Khan also got involved. Sarfaraz Khan was fielding at the short leg. Sarfaraz took a dig at Jonny Bairstow and replied to him in his local ‘Mumbai style.’

Here’s how the conversation unfolded

Jonny Bairstow: What did you say to Jimmy about getting tired and he got you out after that?

Shubman Gill: So what, it was after my 100, how many have you got here?

Jonny Bairstow: How many you got in England? Full stop.

Sarfaraz Khan: Thode se runs kya bana diya, jyada uchal raha hain (Scored only a few runs and he is jumping too much now).

Watch here:

Wicket-keeper Dhruv Jurel was watching everything unfold and had a great laugh after Bairstow’s comment. Jonny Bairstow scored 29 in the first innings and 39 in the second innings of the Dharamsala test. In the entire series, Bairstow scored 238 runs in 10 innings at an average of 23.8. England were dismissed on just 195 runs in the second innings and lost the game by an innings and 64 runs.
