In a dramatic final hour at Old Trafford, England captain Ben Stokes offered a handshake to end the 4th Test as a draw with 15 overs remaining and India at 386/4. Indian batters Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar declined, opting to play on and complete their centuries. The umpires relayed Stokes’ offer, but India stood firm. Jadeja reached his hundred with a six off Harry Brook, followed by Sundar’s maiden Test century. The match ended in a draw, but not before tensions flared and England’s frustration showed. India’s refusal turned a routine stalemate into a statement of pride, resilience, and individual milestones.
