The fourth Test against england ended in a draw, with many expecting the indian team to suffer an innings defeat. In this, rahul, Gill, Jadeja, and washington sundar played superbly. While rahul missed his century by 10 runs, the other three players played superbly and completed their centuries. In this situation, on the last day of the fourth Test, captain stokes went to shake hands with Jadeja and washington sundar to end the match early. But Jadeja rejected Stokes' request. Then the english players got into a verbal altercation with Jadeja and washington sundar and taunted them. This led to heavy criticism of Stokes.
The fans have accused stokes of doing this because he could not accept the match ending in a draw. stokes, who broke his silence for the first time on this issue, said that I understood that Jadeja and washington sundar wanted to complete their centuries. For me, our bowlers bowled too many overs. I thought that I could decide to end the match early. But that incident is over. We have moved on from it. The indian players have also moved on from it. So no one should pay attention to what happened in those 20 minutes. Because this is shaping up to be a great series for us. This series has put a lot of pressure on us physically and mentally. This series was a test of our physical fitness and character. Both teams fought hard on the field. It shows how much we love Test cricket. I don't know anything about the clash between Gambhir and the groundskeeper. I wasn't there," stokes said.
