Bairstow
walked
into
the
middle
at
12*
off
47
deliveries
at
the
start
of
play
on
day
three
and
started
batting
cautiously
but
an
exchange
of
words
with
former
India
captain
Virat
Kohli
on
the
pitch
changed
the
complexion
of
the
game.
Bairstow
was
batting
on
16*
off
65
deliveries
but
that
incident
with
Kohli
charged
up
the
right-handed
batter
and
he
started
hitting
fours
and
sixes.

He
first
went
on
completing
his
fifty
off
just
81
deliveries
and
then
went
on
to
slam
an
imperious
century
off
just
119
deliveries.
The
hundred
of
just
119
balls
by
Bairstow
is
the
fastest
any
player
has
reached
a
hundred
against
India
in
Tests
since
January
2016.

Bairstow
smashed
14
fours
and
two
maximums
in
his
knock
en
route
to
his
century
and
counter-attacked
Indian
bowlers.
It
was
his
innings
which
pushed
the
Indians
on
the
back
foot
and
helped
the
hosts
go
past
the
200-run
mark
as
they
were
84
for
5
when
the
play
started
on
day
three.
He
struck
a
partnership
of
66
runs
with
Ben
Stokes
for
the
sixth
wicket
and
later
forged
a
massive
91-run
stand
with
Sam
Billings
for
the
seventh
wicket.

Bairstow

who
is
going
through
the
form
of
his
life
in
Test
cricket

has
been
going
through
a
superb
run
and
looked
an
entirely
different
beast
after
Kohli
sledged
him.
He
started
hitting
Indian
bowlers
all
around
the
park
and
played
some
aggressive
pull
shots.
Watching
Bairstow
hit
the
visiting
team
after
a
heated
exchange
of
words
with
Kohli,
former
cricketers
claimed
the
India
batter
poked
the
bear
at
the
wrong
time.

Former
India
opener
Virender
Sehwag
tweeted,
“Jonny
Bairstow’s
Strike
Rate
before
Kohli’s
Sledging
-:

Post
Sledging

(He
was
batting
like
Pujara,
Kohli’s
sledging
made
him
play
like
Pant)
#IndvsEng.

“Former
West
Indies
cricketer,
Ian
Bishop
tweeted,
“Don’t
poke
the
Bear
that
is
Johnny
Bairstow
again
please.”

New
Zealand
all-rounder
Jimmy
Neesham
wrote
on
Twitter,
“Why
do
opposing
teams
keep
making
Jonny
Bairstow
angry
lol,
he
gets
10x
better.
Give
him
a
gift
basket
each
morning,
let
him
know
you’re
having
his
car
valeted
while
he’s
batting.
Anything
to
keep
him
happy.”
