"Would England Have Walked Off...": Gautam Gambhir's Blunt Take On 'Handshake' Row
Indian cricket team head coach Gautam Gambhir gave his blunt verdict on the 'handshake' controversy on Day 5 of the fourth Test match between India and England at Old Trafford on Sunday. England skipper Ben Stokes offered to end the match in a draw with 15 overs left on Day 5. However, Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar were close to their centuries and India decided to not accept the 'handshake' at that moment. Stokes was not happy but play continued and both Jadeja as well as Sundar was able to slam centuries. Gambhir completely supported the decision to not take the draw at the point and questioned whether England would have left the field if their players were on verge of hundreds. 'If someone's batting on 90 and another on 85, don't they deserve their centuries? Would England have walked off if their own players were close to milestones? No. Our boys weathered the storm. They earned those tons. We're not here to please anyone,' Gambhir said at the post-match press conference. Meanwhile, Gill lauded the batting effort of his side after salvaging a draw in the fourth Test against England and backed the decision to not accept Ben Stokes' offer to end the game early, saying Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar deserved to complete their centuries. India, who started their second innings 311 runs behind, produced a spirited batting display to finish on 425 for four in 143 overs, with Gill (103), KL Rahul (90), Jadeja (107 not out) and Washington (101 not out) leading the resistance. There was a brief moment of drama in the final hour when England skipper Stokes proposed ending the contest early, with both Indian batters approaching individual milestones. But the offer was turned down, allowing Jadeja and Washington to reach their hundreds. 'Definitely it was up to the boys, but we thought they batted brilliantly. Both of them were in their 90s, so we thought they deserved a century,' Gill said at the post-match presentation. India were reduced to 0 for two early in their second innings after openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sai Sudharsan fell without scoring, but the middle-order stood firm under pressure. "With our batting effort, the past couple of days I think we were put under a lot of pressure. But I think the way we responded, especially after losing those two early wickets, never easy but a very brave effort," Gill said. "It's all about taking the wicket out of the equation. Day five wicket, the ball is doing, something is happening, every ball is kind of an event. So you just want to play ball by ball and want to take the game as deep as possible."

Watch: Ben Stokes Taunts Ravindra Jadeja After 'Handshake' Refusal, Gets Blunt Reply: 'Can't Do...'
Drama unfolded in the high-intensity Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy here on Sunday after Indian batters Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar refused England skipper Ben Stokes' offer to call off the fourth Test and settle for a draw before the start of the final hour of play. There is a provision that allows both captains to shake hands and agree to a draw if they feel that the possibility of a result is impossible. Having worked hard to earn a creditable draw, Jadeja and Washington, batting on 89 and 80 respectively, flatly refused Stokes' offer after he had approached the umpire, which irked the England skipper no end. With both approaching their hundreds after having saved the match, they exercised their rights to continue batting. Stokes had a few words to say as Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett were also seen enquiring as to why India wanted to carry on. "Do you want to score a hundred against Harry Brook?" Stokes asked sarcastically and all Jadeja said was "I can't do anything." A smiling Jadeja maintained his grace and ticked them off as India, as per rules, were well within their rights to carry on batting. Watch: Ben Stokes denied an early draw by Ravindra Jadeja Scored a hundred, saved the Test, farmed aura! #RavindraJadeja didn't hesitate, till the end #ENGvIND 5th TEST | Starts THU, 31st July, 2:30 PM | Streaming on JioHotstar! — Star Sports (@StarSportsIndia) July 27, 2025 Draw | England vs India | 4th Test | Day 5 | JioHotstar- #ENGvIND #TeamIndia — Star Sports Tamil (@StarSportsTamil) July 27, 2025 In what seemed like a mark of protest, Stokes introduced Harry Brook into the attack and Jadeja hit him for a six to complete his third Test hundred. However, England team's poor attitude was at the forefront as they started bowling proverbial long hops or "donkey drops" as a mark of protest. Harry Brook started to offer freebies to Jadeja and Washington as a sign of disapproval for India's decision to carry on playing. Players finally shook hands after the milestones of Jadeja and Washington were achieved with the latter scoring his maiden Test hundred. The day five track did not have many demons with prominent movement and a bit of variable bounce was visible in the morning session when Gill and Rahul got out after a 188-run stand. Considering the match situation, the dogged resistance from the two India left-handers in the second and final session was reminiscent of R Ashwin and Hamuna Vihari's match saving stand in the Sydney Test of 2021. Nursing a broken foot, Rishabh Pant was available to bat in the second innings but he did not need to come to the middle and risk aggravation of his injury. Strikingly, it was England's only second draw in the 40 Tests played in the Bazball era with the last one coming also at Old Trafford during the 2023 Ashes (weather was the main factor behind the draw).

From Eden Gardens 2001 to Old Trafford 1990, revisiting India's greatest rescue acts in Test cricket
With the quartet of Shubman Gill, KL Rahul as well as Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar producing a remarkable batting display to help India secure a draw in the fourth Test against England in Manchester, we revisit some of the greatest rescue acts in Indian Test history. read more VVS Laxman and Rahul Dravid's epic 376-run partnership in Kolkata and Sachin Tendulkar's resilient 119 not out in Manchester led to some of greatest rescue acts in Indian Test history. Image: AFP/ICC The quartet of KL Rahul, Shubman Gill, Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja to ensure the five-match series against England remained alive heading into the final Test at The Oval on Thursday. Captain Gill and Rahul, after all, found themselves at the crease after Chris Woakes had dismissed Yashasvi Jaiswal and B Sai Sudharsan in successive deliveries in the very first over of India's second innings. India had been reduced to 0/2 after England had posted a mammoth 669 on the board and collected a 311-run first innings lead. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Also Read | Steely determination of Indian batting lineup runs England ragged at Old Trafford, keeps Test series alive Gill and Rahul would end up batting through the remaining overs of the day with a defiant, unbroken 174-run partnership for the third wicket. When some were expecting India to get bundled out around lunch, the captain and the senior opener ensured India lived to fight another day at Old Trafford. And when the two set overnight batters departed inside the morning session, Gill getting dismissed shortly after completing his fourth ton of the series, spin-bowling all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar highlighted that the middle-order was in safe hands. 'Jaddu' and 'Washy' joined the century fest as they forged an unbroken 203-run stand for the fifth wicket that ensured India returned to London for the final Test with the series still alive. The rescue act by the quartet of Gill, Rahul, Jadeja and Sundar was reminiscent of several other such escapes and heists, which we take a look at in greater detail below: Laxman and Dravid vs Australia, Kolkata, 2001 Social media has been replete with countless posts comparing VVS Laxman and Rahul Dravid's legendary fifth-wicket partnership against Steve Waugh's Australia at the Eden Gardens in 2001. There's no doubt what Gill and his teammates achieved at Old Trafford over the weekend was phenomenal. But to compare it one of the greatest turnarounds in the history of the game, which resulted in only the second instance of a team winning from having to follow-on, would be questionable. Do celebrate Holi, but also celebrate 2 men who walked in on this day 24 years ago with the score at 254-4 & 90 overs later, returned unbeaten with the score reading 589-4. Laxman & Dravid, Eden Gardens 2001 — Joy Bhattacharjya (@joybhattacharj) March 14, 2025 STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Laxman and Dravid, after all, had battled physical discomfort and illness to forge a 376-run partnership that helped India go from conceding a 274-run first innings deficit to posting a mammoth 657/7 in their second innings and going on to win the Test by 171 runs. The victory would be a turning point not just in the three-Test series, but in Sourav Ganguly's career as captain and indeed for the Indian team. Vihari and Ashwin vs Australia, Sydney, 2021 India had staged an equally remarkable comeback in the 2020-21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy, where they would go on to win the series 2-1 after getting bundled out for 36 and losing the series opener in Adelaide. The third Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground had Australia in the driver's seat as they set India a tough 407 to win. And with the Indians reduced to 102/3, the Tim Paine-led hosts certainly appeared confident of ending on the winning side. Ashwin, Vihari's resilience helps India draw Third Test! Both teams go to The Gabba with series at 1-1!#AUSvIND LIVE: — Firstpost Sports (@FirstpostSports) January 11, 2021 STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD While Cheteshwar Pujara (77) and Rishabh Pant (97) had brought India back into the contest, it was the sixth-wicket pair of Hanuma Vihari (23 not out of 161 balls) and Ravichandran Ashwin (39 not out off 128) who replicated AB de Villiers and Faf du Plessis' stonewalling effort against the same team, albeit in Adelaide in 2012, to ultimately steer India towards safety. And they did it while battling cramps and copping multiple blows to the body from Australia's pace trifecta of Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins. Tendulkar and Prabhakar vs England, Manchester, 1990 Gill and Co's phenomenal batting isn't the only instance of Indian batters going out of their way to secure a draw for their team at Manchester's Old Trafford Stadium. It is exactly what had happened that last time India had played a Test at this venue – all the way back in 1990. What's more, that game witnessed the beginning of something special – the first of Sachin Tendulkar's century of international centuries. What were you doing when you were 17? On this day in 1990, a little 17 year old Indian boy scored his 1st test hundred, a brilliant 119* to save the match for little master Sachin Tendulkar @sachin_rt These backfoot shots are unbelievable, for anyone at any age — Rob Moody (@robelinda2) August 13, 2020 STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The Graham Gooch-led hosts were on top after collecting an 87-run first innings lead and later setting India an improbable 408 to win. And by the time legendary all-rounder Kapil Dev was dismissed, India looked down and out with just 183 runs on the board for the loss of six wickets. Tendulkar, who had already made a solid impression at that point with his meteoric rise from the maidaans of Bombay to a memorable debut tour of Pakistan, came to India's rescued with an unbeaten 119, rallying with Manoj Prabhakar (67 not out) as the two forged an unbroken 160-run stand for the seventh wicket to steer the Mohammad Azharuddin-led visitors to a stalemate in the second Test. Gavaskar vs England, London (The Oval), 1979 It's not just Tendulkar who had helped India pull off a miraculous escape on English soil; another legendary batter from Mumbai had achieved the same 11 summers earlier. It was in the fourth and final Test against Mike Brearley's England at The Oval, where Gill and Co will be in action in three days' time, where Gavaskar had scored a phenomenal 221 and helped India amass 366 runs for its first two wickets in the company of opening partner Chetan Chauhan (80) and Dilip Vengsarkar (52). Oval, Sept 4th, 1979. Chasing 438, Sunny & Chetan put on 213 and then Vengsarkar & Gavaskar reached 366 when Vengsarkar fell. From there, Kapil failed, the rest panicked & Sunil Gavaskar's epic 221 left us just 9 heart-breaking runs short. A batting master-class for the ages — Joy Bhattacharjya (@joybhattacharj) September 4, 2020 STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Unlike the stalemate in Sydney more than four decades later, this was an effort that nearly resulted in India pulling off the highest successful chase in Test history – with the Srinivas Venkataraghavan-led Indians finishing on 429/8 after being set 438 to win!
