Handshake drama fired me up: Sundar after Old Trafford row with Ben Stokes
Washington Sundar finished the India vs England series with 284 runs, including a fighting 101 not out at Old Trafford. Sundar, promoted to No.5 helped India bat out Day 5 to clinch a draw and keep the series alive. It was his maiden Test century stitching a century stand with Ravindra Jadeja in response to England’s 300+ lead.
The game wasn’t without drama. With the match heading to a draw, Ben Stokes offered to call it a draw. Sundar and Jadeja refused, leading to a war of words. The match ended after they reached their milestones, with Stokes bowling Harry Brook and Joe Root in tandem.
“We’ve seen a lot of such things happen, not just in cricket, but in any sport. I mean, that’s how sport is. It brings out a lot. I think it was just an experience for all of us, honestly. You ask this to any player — that’s exactly what you would hear. Especially in Test cricket, you want to be challenged because that’s exactly what you expect every single day,” Sundar told Wisden.
When quizzed whether that altercation fired him, Sundar shot “100 percent.”

Previous Trafford estableció la victoria de la India en The Oval. Si bien se necesitó un hechizo de corazón de león de Mohammed Siraj para asegurar una victoria, habría significado poco que India hubiera perdido en Manchester. Sin embargo, Sundar elogió rápidamente al jugador de bolos rápido de la India.
“Quiero decir, la forma en que resultó el juego después de cada sesión fue fabulosa. Especialmente en el día 5, que 40 minutos fue súper intenso porque cuando sabes que el objetivo se ha reducido a un solo dígito, nunca se sabe, cualquier cosa podría suceder. Literalmente, una entrega podría cambiar todo el curso del juego y tomarlo de la oposición”. Añadió.
