“We’ve been fortunate to play against each other for over 10 years now. So, we have had some battles on the field. I am pretty sure we will be able to have dinner,” said Bairstow

Star England batter Jonny Bairstow has played down the heated verbal exchange he had with senior India player Virat Kohli during the third day of the rescheduled fifth Test, saying it was part and parcel of the game.
During the morning session on Sunday, Kohli had something to say to Bairstow about his ‘play and miss’ game, but the England batter wasn’t someone to take it lightly. At one point, the umpires had to intervene to cool down tempers. “Nah, there was literally nothing to it,” Bairstow, who hit 106 off 140 balls, said when asked about the heated exchange with Kohli.
