Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow's stunning onslaught denied India the historic win at Edgbaston as England romped Jasprit Bumrah-led side by seven wickets in the rescheduled fifth and the final Test to level the long due five-match series 2-2 on Tuesday.

 

Bairstow (114 off 145) unleashed the beast in him as he clobbered centuries in both the innings which was brilliantly coupled with another ton from teammate Joe Root (141 off 172) as they made the light work of India's 378 target with seven wickets to spare on Day 5 of the final match.

 

Meanwhile, Afghanistan's star cricketer and Gujarat Titans' vice-captain Rashid Khan put out a tweet addressing Bairstow after the English batter propelled his side to a historic victory against star-studded India.

 

 

Let's have look at the reactions from cricketers ranging from current to former, who were effusive in their praise for the Edgbaston hero.
