Former India cricketer Mohammad Kaif strongly criticized Ben Stokes for his behavior during the last day of the Manchester Test, stating that the England captain lost the honor after his hot exchange with Ravindra Jadeja. The incident occurred when Jadeja and Washington were close to centuries and refused England to win. Stokes left for Jadeja and suggested shaking hands for the draw, but Jadeja rejected and chose to bat. The conversation became tense, and England players continued to engage in the chatter in an attempt to break India’s attention. Despite its efforts, India was firm. Among the stumps, India was 425 for 4 in the second innings, scoring 114 runs. Jadeja remained unbeaten on 107, Sundar at 101, and Shubman Gill scored the first 103 runs. The partnership between Jadeja and Sundar was 203 runs and had distanced the game from England.

Kaif said in a video on Instagram, “Ben Stokes lost respect due to a moment when he wanted to finish the game quickly.” “You had about two days to get India out. You could not win. What were you trying to achieve by asking for a handshake?” Kaif praised Stokes’ all-round performance, but said that all good works were undone from his behavior. He said, “It takes years to build respect and it was just a moment to lose it. It was for Ben Stokes,” he said.
