"If You Wanted A Hundred...": What Ben Stokes Told Ravindra Jadeja During 'Handshake' Row Argument
The final moments of the fourth Test between India and England at Old Trafford saw drama unfold as England captain Ben Stokes offered to call the match a draw with 15 overs left in the day. However, the Indian camp refused to walk off, with all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar both nearing centuries. Stokes proceeded to hand the ball to Harry Brook, who bowled dollies at Jadeja and Sundar, resulting in the batters to race to their centuries. Now, the exact conversation between the two teams has been released by broadcaster Sky Sports Cricket. With 15 overs left in the day, Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar were batting on 89 and 81 respectively. The draw was a foregone conclusion, and England captain Ben Stokes offered to end the match there. However, the Indian team refused. Here's how the conversation between the hosts and the visitors played out: Jofra Archer: If you wanted a hundred, you should have batted like it earlier. Zak Crawley: Is it your decision? We'll bowl bouncers at you if you want. Ravindra Jadeja: You have been doing that all day. Ben Duckett: How long do you need, an hour? If you get to 100, he (Sundar) gets to 90, and then we have to wait for him. It's a bit late in the day for it. Jadeja: I can't say 'ok, I don't want to play' Ben Stokes: You want to get a Test hundred against Harry Brook and Ben Duckett? Jadeja: I can't do anything. Stokes: Yes, you can, you can walk off. Indian all-rounder Washington Sundar shared his emotions after scoring his maiden Test century in Manchester and said that every century matters but this one means a lot and revealed coach Gautam Gambhir 's message of "fighting through the entire day" in an effort to secure a draw. Sundar, who came to bat at No. 5 for the first time, scored an unbeaten 101 in an unbroken 203-run fifth-wicket stand with Ravindra Jadeja (107 not out). The duo's brilliant stand for the fifth wicket saw India through to complete a draw. "It feels very special. Honestly, it's difficult to put this feeling into words because a Test hundred is something truly unique. Every century matters, but this one means a lot. I got the opportunity to bat at No. 5, and my only focus was to fight for an entire day. That was the only message from the coach as well. I'm just really glad we managed to draw this match," Sundar said on JioHotstar.

Miffed Sunil Gavaskar Wants Shubman Gill To Ask Ben Stokes: "Why Did You Take..."
The manner in which the India vs England 4th Test concluded, triggered an intense debate on social media. England captain Ben Stokes offered India the opportunity to take the draw and conde the match while Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar were still chasing their respective hundreds. With the fate of the match settled, Stokes didn't find logic in continuing the game but India had other targets to achieve. Though the match eventually concluded with Jadeja and Sundar reaching their respective hundreds, Stokes' antics towards the end drew opinions from all across the cricketing spectrum. Looking at the manner in which India managed to salvage a draw, the legendary Sunil Gavaskar said that he was enormously proud of what the Indian team managed to do in Manchester. But, he also questioned England's approach as they didn't declare the innings, even after going past the 600-run mark. "Satisfied? I am proud. I am enormously proud of this team for what they have done. I mean, just four wickets [fell]. Whatever the pitch might have been - good pitch, flat pitch - whatever it is, they stuck around there under pressure. The question can be asked: Did England bat too long before they declared? When India gave England 600-plus runs to chase at Birmingham, some of the England players who came out for the press conference said 'India were scared, and that's why they gave us 600 runs'. But I also remember reading somewhere earlier on when England were in India 'Give us 600 runs. We will chase anything.' That's what India did, but you ended up 336 runs short. So that is just bravado, a little bit of loud talk," the Little Master said on the Sony Sports Network. Gavaskar sent a loud message to India captain Shubman Gill, telling him to ask Ben Stokes why a decision to declare early wasn't taken by him? "Shubman Gill... if he is at the media conference... I would like him to ask, 'Why did you take a lead of 311? Why were you not happy with a lead of 240? Or 250? After you [Ben Stokes] got his hundred, why did you not declare and give your bowlers a little extra hour to try and get other wickets? I know he won't ask. He is too nice a guy. He is not this SG. That SG is different. But this SG would have 100 percent asked. And I am asking now," he added.

Asaduddin Owaisi tears into Modi govt over India-Pakistan cricket match - ‘does your conscience allow?'
AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi voiced his concern over the upcoming cricket match between India and Pakistan in the 2025 Asia Cup and raised questions regarding accountability for the Pahalgam terror attack. The Hyderabad Member of Parliament was speaking during a heated debate in parliament over Operation Sindoor on Monday. 'Does your conscience allow you to ask the family members of the people who were killed in Baisaran to watch India's cricket match with Pakistan?... We are stopping 80% of Pakistan's water, saying that water and blood will not flow together. Will you play a cricket match? My conscience does not allow me to watch that match.' Posing a question directly to the government, he asked, "Does this government have the courage to call the 25 dead people and say we have taken revenge in Operation Sindoor, now you watch the match with Pakistan?" Owaisi's remarks came after the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) President and Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi announced that the Men's Asia Cup 2025 will be hosted in the United Arab Emirates from September 9 to 28. Group A features India, Pakistan, UAE, and Oman, while Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, and Hong Kong make up Group B. Owaisi also questioned how the perpetrators of the Baisaran incident managed to infiltrate India territory. "Who did Pahalgam? We have 7.5 lakh army and central paramilitary force. From where did these four rats enter and kill our Indian citizens? On whom will accountability be fixed?...", he asked, referencing the incident in Pahalgam. Earlier, former Indian skipper and ex-BCCI president Sourav Ganguly also weighed in on the upcoming India-Pakistan clash in the Asia Cup 2025, stressing that while sports must continue, terrorism must be firmly dealt with. "I am okay. The sport must go on. At the same time, Pahalgam should not happen, but the sport must go on. Terrorism must not happen; it needs to be stopped. India took a strong stance towards terrorism... Sport needs to be played," Ganguly told ANI. Does your conscience allow you to ask the family members of the people who were killed in Baisaran to watch India's cricket match with Pakistan? The Lok Sabha on Monday afternoon began discussion on 'India's strong, successful and decisive Operation Sindoor, launched in response to the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam. The debate was initiated by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh.
