Anger in Bairstow’s eyes while shaking hands with Cummins, fans remember Kohli-Gambhir

Jonny Bairstow and Pat Cummins Aggressive Handshake: The second Test match of the Ashes series 2023 being played between England and Australia will be remembered for many reasons. Apart from the excellent centuries of Ben Stokes and Steve Smith, the controversial run out of Jonny Bairstow was one of the highlights of the Lord’s Test match. The Australian team won this match by 43 runs, but they are constantly facing criticism for the wicket of Johnny Bairstow.

After the end of the Lord’s Test match, when the players of both the teams were shaking hands with each other, anger was clearly visible on Bairstow’s face. During this, when he reached to shake hands with the captain of the Kangaroo team, Pat Cummins, that moment was also captured in the camera. After watching this scene, all the fans have remembered the fight between Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli in the 16th season of IPL.

Pat Cummins defended his team

The Australian team is constantly facing a lot of criticism regarding the run out of Johnny Bairstow. In this, everyone is accusing him of going against the spirit of the game. Pat Cummins defended his team and said after the match that I think Alex Carey had seen him doing this a few balls earlier. He was doing something similar in the last 3 to 4 balls. That’s why he caught the ball and threw it straight towards the stumps. I think there is no foul play in this because everything has happened according to the rules and that is how I see it.

Cummins further said that you see, Johnny is also seen doing the same. He did this with David Warner on the first day of the game. He did this with Smith in the year 2019. This is quite common with wicketkeepers. I would like to give full credit for this wicket to Alex Carey.
