The Indian cricket team is currently locking their horns against England in the ongoing five-match Test series and it is turning out to be one entertaining series. Apart from some thrilling performances by both the teams, some heated words were also exchanged by England’s Ollie Robinson and India’s KL Rahul on the field.
Well, team India started the day on a great note after the pacers bundled up the England batsmen on merely 183 runs. Chasing the target, Indian openers also gave a solid start to the game as Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul handled the seamers very patiently, however, Rohit Sharma was soon dismissed.
Following Rohit’s dismissal, wickets started raining for the Indian side as they slipped from 97-0 to 112-4. KL Rahul kept his calm, while the wickets kept falling from the other side. However, he got involved in some heated moments with England’s star bowler Ollie Robinson.

It happened when Rahul was batting in fine rhythm and was marching up with 58 runs in his account while being wonderfully supported by Rishabh Pant from the other end. Rahul flicked Robinson to the leg side and Robinson went on to exchange some heated words.
However, things didn’t end there as Robinson went to barge shoulders with Rahul. This was just moments after James Anderson was involved in a tussle with the umpire regarding the rain.
Pictures and videos from the incident are going viral on social media. Here, watch the video:
