IND vs. Eng Test: Ben Stokes Handshek breaks the silence on Row: ‘Let’s not focus on those 20 minutes’. Cricket news
England captain Ben Stokes, who would recall the final test of the ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, finally broke his silence on the “Handshek Gatha”, which became the talkting point of the Old Trafford Test last week.Indian batsmen Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar refused to settle for England captain Ben Stokes’ fourth Test and settled for a draw before the last hour of playing.After working hard to earn a reliable draw, Jadeja and Washington, batting at 89 and 80 respectively, denied Stokes’ proposal after contacting the umpire, who did not end the England captain.Stokes had some words to say as Zak Crowley and Ben Docket were also seen to be interrogating why India wanted to be taken.“Do you want to score a hundred against Harry Brook?” Stokes asked sarcastically, and all Jadeja said, “I can’t do anything.”A smiling Jadeja retained his grace and closed them, as India, according to the rules, were well within their rights to take on batting.Stokes defended their decision to join hands to Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar.Stokes told reporters on the eve of the Oval Test, “I think Jadeja and Sundar wanted to achieve their 100s, but I was not going to bowl my bowlers. We are above it, India is above it. Let’s not focus on those 20 minutes; It has been a great series,” Stokes said to reporters on the pre -test of Oval Test.
