Bairstow shuts critics with a gritty hundred vs India

England opener Jonny Bairstow shut his critics with a gritty and fluent hundred in Birmingham. His maiden World Cup hundred came against India after former English greats including Michael Vaughan and Kevin Pietersen had criticized the team for back to back defeats against Sri Lanka and Australia. The 29-year-old had responded by saying that people were waiting for England to lose, as it was a typical English thing to do in every sport. A comment that attracted a lot of criticism from the media and fans.
