Bairstow Credits IPL After Heroic Knock vs New Zealand To Win 2nd Test Match
England cricketer Jonny Bairstow has given a huge compliment to the Indian Premier League (IPL), saying that the lucrative league had prepared him better for Test cricket than red-ball county cricket.
The 32-year-old Bairstow was the architect of England's five-wicket win in the Trent Bridge Test, with the right-hand batter smashing a T20-style 136 off 92 deliveries to guide the team to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series.
