Former Indian cricket team opener Gautam Gambhir<\/a> had an explosive take on Jonny Bairstow<\/a>‘s controversial run-out during the second Ashes Test between England and Australia at Lord’s on Sunday. Bairstow’s dismissal split users on social media and even ex-cricketers weighed in on the topic as it turned into a discussion for the “spirit of cricket”. Gambhir is well-known for his blunt comments and he once again took aim at the Australian cricket team with his social media post. “Hey sledgers\u2026.does spirit of the game logic apply to u or is it just for Indians?,” he posted on Twitter.<\/p>\n Hey sledgers\u2026.does spirit of the game logic apply to u or is it just for Indians?<\/p>\n \u2014 Gautam Gambhir (@GautamGambhir) July 2, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Australia won a rancorous second\u00a0Ashes\u00a0Test at Lord’s by 43 runs despite a stunning century from England captain Ben Stokes<\/a> that went into overdrive following the controversial dismissal of Jonny Bairstow.<\/p>\n Stokes made a remarkable 155 before he was dismissed with England 70 runs shy of a steep target of 371.<\/p>\n England were eventually dismissed for 327 as holders Australia, bidding for a first away\u00a0Ashes\u00a0series win in 22 years, went 2-0 up in the five-match campaign.<\/p>\n But it was the dismissal of Bairstow shortly before lunch on the last day that riled the England team and the crowd alike.<\/p>\n Bairstow, the last of England’s specialist batsmen, fell in bizarre fashion for 10 when he wandered out of his ground after ducking a Cameron Green<\/a> bouncer and quick-thinking wicketkeeper Alex Carey<\/a> under-armed the ball onto the stumps.<\/p>\n Bairstow thought he had secured his ground by tapping his bat behind the crease.<\/p>\n\n
