When Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah walked out to bat on the final day of the Test, he was met with a barrage of verbal volleys from English players.

On Day 5, India set England a target of 272 runs, thanks to Bumrah and Mohammed Shami's unbroken 89-run ninth-wicket partnership.

The two fast bowlers returned to take two wickets each as England was knocked out for 120 runs and lost by 151 runs.


When India were on the field, Kohli, who had been charged up and throwing verbal volleys from the Lord's balcony since Bumrah had been taking the heat in the middle, went offensive and was observed in animated talks with many English players, most notably Jos Buttler.


Every wicket was enthusiastically welcomed by the Indian skipper, who burst into wild celebrations when Mohammed Siraj bowled James Anderson to win the match for India.
