Things started heating after the conclusion of 3rd over by Ishant Sharma. The starting point of the argument is not known. Suddenly footages showed Ishant Sharma pointing fingers towards. However, Watson laughed off Ishant Sharma’s aggression.
It was during the final over by Kagiso Rabada that Watson again got into the act and started having a conversation with Rabada. Both were seen chattering and this is not the first time Kagiso Rabada has been involved in a heated argument.
