Star India batter Shubman Gill and England middle-order batter Jonny Bairstow had a heated exchange during the fifth and final Test between both sides at Dharamshala on Saturday.
Just before Gill had reached his century, he exchanged some words with the 41-year-old pacer. When asked in the post-day press conference, Gill had said as quoted by Wisden on his exchange with Anderson, " I think it would be better for both of us to keep that chat in private."
Jonny Bairstow: "What did you say to Jimmy about him retiring?" Shubman Gill: "I told him he should retire"
Bairstow: "And then he got you out next ball?" Gill: "So what? How many times has..."
Bairstow: "I was just asking" Gill: "He can get me out after my 100" Bairstow: "100 per cent"
Gill: "How many 100s [do you have] this series?" Bairstow: "How many have you scored, full stop?"
Gill ended as the second-highest run-getter with 452 runs in nine innings at an average of 56.5, with two centuries and two fifties. Bairstow flopped big time, managing just 238 runs in 10 innings at an average of 23.8, with the best score of 39.
