England batsman Jonny Bairstow and Indian batters Shubman Gill, Sarfaraz Khan, wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel were involved in a heated argument on Day three of the fifth Test match at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala.

Though the series was played in a very good spirit, this was the first instance of India and England cricketers getting involved in a serious sledging episode.

It got a little heated up when Bairstow sledged Gill and got an epic reply back. A video of the incident has gone viral over various social media platforms in which one can hear these two cricketers having a go at each other.
