Jonny acknowledges Kohli's kind words

PUNE : While both England and India may have fought tooth and nail so far in the two white-ball series, players from both sides have shown respect to each other.

England batsman Jonny Bairstow, who hammered his 11th ODI century, to lead his team to a remarkable chase of 337 runs in the second One-day International on Friday acknowledged India skipper Virat Kohli for praising his batting.

"It's very kind of him to say that. He's been one of the best players around the world for a period of time. Likewise, I'm pleased to be striking the ball like I am at the moment," said Bairstow when asked for his reaction on Kohli's words of praise.

The India captain had said after Friday's game that there was little his team could have done in the face of great batting by Bairstow and Ben Stokes who added 175 runs in 114 balls for the second wicket. (IANS)
