India Decides to Keep Batting Even After Draw Suggestion
On the fourth Test's last day, England captain Ben Stokes suggested a draw. The Indian team refused. No definite winner was then in sight. Stokes stepped forward to shake hands and end the match before the final 15 compulsory overs commenced. But Indian batters Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar disagreed.
Jadeja and Sundar Targeted Personal Milestones
Jadeja and Sundar were almost on the verge of scoring centuries. While earlier batsmen such as KL Rahul and Shubman Gill had been dismissed, these two played cautiously. They endured at the crease and withstood England's bowling. Their aim was to score individual hundreds.
Stokes Reacts, Indian Batters Remain Unfazed
Ben Stokes looked frustrated. He said sarcastically: "Do you want to make a century off Brook's bowling?" The Indian players didn't react. They kept their cool. Jadeja completed his century first, followed by Sundar.
Match Ends in No Result
Once both players had completed their centuries, the match ended in a draw. In spite of England's original request, India decided to continue playing and complete their innings.
