Virat Kohli was caught up in a tensed situation involving England quick James Anderson, when the duo were caught in a verbal duel on Day 4 at Lord's. The incident took place when India were batting at 41/2 in the second innings, and a furious Kohli standing at the non-striker's end was heard exchanging words with the veteran pacer.
The video of the incident has gone viral on Twitter, in which the Team India skipper can be heard saying: "You are swearing at me? Like you did to Bumrah?. This isn't your backyard".

Kohli, however, failed to make a lasting impact in the contest as his fans still wait for the Indian skipper to end his two-year long century drought.

While the English pacer has been enjoying a fine series it is the Indian skipper, who has been struggling to make a mark.
