Jonathan Marc Bairstow, more commonly known as Jonny Bairstow, is a renowned English cricketer who has established himself as a formidable wicketkeeper-batter in England's middle order.
Born on September 26, 1989, he is the son of former England wicketkeeper David Bairstow, which adds a touch of legacy to his career.

Bairstow's journey to success was not without its challenges, particularly with competition from fellow cricketer Jos Buttler for the wicketkeeping role.
However, Bairstow's consistent run-scoring performances for Yorkshire over the years made a strong case for his selection in the national team.
Once given the opportunity, he seized it with both hands and showcased his exceptional batting skills.

While Bairstow's wicketkeeping has faced some scrutiny and sparked debates about his suitability for the role, he has proven his worth with the bat time and again.
His breakthrough moment came during his emotional debut Test century in Cape Town, a city that held special significance for his family.
From there, he continued to make an indelible mark in the England team.

Bairstow's most notable impact has been in the one-day format of the game, where his prolific opening partnership with Jason Roy played a key role in England's historic World Cup triumph in 2019.
Their performances were unmatched, setting the tone for England's success in the tournament.

As a player, Bairstow is known for his combative nature and independent mindset.

He has worked extensively with Bruce French, England's wicketkeeping coach, to refine his skills behind the stumps and improve his overall game.

Bairstow's passion for cricket developed at an early age, although he was also a talented all-round sportsman and had trials with Leeds United as a right back.
Eventually, his love for cricket took precedence, and he made his mark playing for Yorkshire's Under-15s.
In 2007, he was named the Young Wisden Schools Cricketer of the Year, earning recognition for his outstanding performances at a young age.

Following in his father's footsteps, Bairstow signed a full-time contract with Yorkshire and had a promising first-class debut against Somerset in June 2009, where he scored an impressive 82 in his second innings.
He quickly secured his place in Yorkshire's first XI and went on to achieve numerous accolades.

Bairstow's breakthrough year came in 2011 when he registered his maiden first-class hundred against Nottinghamshire, followed by a double hundred in the same match.
His brilliant innings included a record ninth-wicket partnership with Ryan Sidebottom, showcasing the passing of talent between generations.

While his debut in one-day internationals hinted at his potential as a specialist batter, Bairstow faced challenges against hostile short bowling from Kemar Roach during the South Africa series.
However, he bounced back with a match-winning innings in a T20I against Pakistan.

Despite intermittent opportunities in Test cricket, Bairstow has displayed his prowess in the longer format as well.
Notably, he scored a brilliant 95 against South Africa at Lord's, rescuing England from a precarious position.

Throughout his career, Bairstow has had his fair share of ups and downs.
