Ashes 2021-22 | WATCH : Ben Stokes and Jonny Baristow hits back at abusive fans during fourth Ashes Test

England batsmen, Jonny Bairstow and Ben Stokes stitched up a crucial 128-run stand in the first innings fourth Ashes Test after the visitors were reduced to 36/4. Stokes scored 66 runs off 91 balls with nine boundaries and a maximum, while Bairstow notched up a fighting century against the hosts.

As the players were going back to the dressing room for the tea, both Stokes and Bairstow received appreciation from the Sydney crowd. However, an abusive fan from the crowd ridiculed both the batsmen, and passed comments on their body shape. 

"Stokes, you're fat," a fan said. "Take your jumper off, Bairstow, lose some weight Bairstow," the England batter was told.

Bairstow fired back at the fan and said, Pal, that's right just turn around and walk away,". Later three people from the crowd was evicted from the Sydney Cricket Ground.
