Virat Kohli loses his cool on Jonny Bairstow on day three

Speaking about that incident, it was the 32nd over of England’s innings when Mohammad Shami was bowling. Some heated words got exchanged between these players as Kohli was standing in the slip cordon. It was also found that Kohli was putting his finger on his lips to shut down Bairstow. However, umpires came and stopped them from creating any further problems.

This is not the first time that Kohli has been involved in such situations as he always liked to play Test cricket with full intensity. Even, it had been found also that all players got back to full smiles after that over only. 

Speaking of the match, England is currently batting with a score of 178 runs by losing six wickets. Jonny Bairstow is still at the crease with 72* runs along with Sam Billings. England is still trailed by 238 runs in the first innings from gaining any lead over India.
