Ben Stokes furious at India’s refusal to shake hands and end Test early

  • On Sunday, England captain Ben Stokes offered a draw during the fourth Test, and India’s Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar were nearing centuries.
  • Stokes defended his decision in the post-match press conference, citing the risk of injuries to his main fast bowlers with one Test still to play.
  • Together, Jadeja and Sundar added an unbroken 223-run stand, forming a critical partnership to save the game, with Jadeja finishing 107 not out and Sundar reaching 101 not out.
  • The move drew criticism from fans and former players, Gautam Gambhir defended England by saying they’d have done the same.
  • As Thursday marks the start of the fifth Test, focus will centre on Stokes’ availability after his exertions in Manchester.
