Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Beautiful both went to score for centuries, Stokes also threw the ball to the Harry Brook in an attempt to wrap the proceedings quickly. Brook’s tender delivery was sent by Jadeja to six, which brought his hundred. Later, Brook also offered Sundar to close it before completing his ton, but the focus on Stokes’ reaction firmly. Stokes’s decision and visual movement did not pay any attention. Former England captain Nasir Hussain commented, “Stokes had no bowling to Brook, and it seemed a bit foolish at the end.” Former India batsman Sanjay Manjrekar called Stokes’ behavior “bad”.
