IND vs ENG: Virat Kohli's savage reaction after taking Jonny Bairstow's catch goes viral

Former Indian skipper Virat Kohli had the last laugh in his battle with Jonny Bairstow as he took the latter's catch and then gave a savage reaction. Kohli and Bairstow had an interesting battle of their own as India played England in the rescheduled fifth Test match at Edgbaston. 

Having sledged Bairstow on Day 2, and then coming face to face with the Englishman on Day 3, Kohli completed his catch, standing at first slip, and after playing a hand in Bairstow's dismissal, Kohli came up with a savage reaction as he blew a kiss in the air.

The pair of Kohli and Bairstow had a heated exchange earlier in the day, as they came face to face. The former Indian skipper appeared miffed at something which Bairstow had said, after which they confronted each other. 

Such was the intensity of their war of words that the umpires had to intervene. While the duo buried the hatched after a while, earlier on Day 2 as well, Kohli took a sly dig at Bairstow.
