Ben Stokes, a captain without grace, snubbed the handshake with Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar at Old Trafford in Manchester after the drama earlier in the match, and his act was a disgrace to the game of cricket.
India managed to pull off a stunning draw in the fourth Test match of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025, thanks to the heroics of Shubman Gill, KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja, and Washington Sundar in the third innings.
At the end of the 138th over, India were at 386/4 with 15 overs and one hour remaining in the game. That was when Ben Stokes approached Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar to shake hands to call it a draw.
However, for some weird reason, Ben Stokes was left fuming after India refused to accept a draw. Stokes, along with England players, was seen passing some nasty comments at Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja to put them under pressure.

England captain's act in the middle was to show that he doesn't care about milestones, but the irony is that there are honors boards for milestones in Lord's, which they consider sacred. Then comes the spirit of cricket part, and Stokes will always be remembered as a player who won the ODI World Cup with a deflected overthrow.
Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar hit brilliant tons to leave Ben Stokes unhappy
Just after Washington Sundar reached the milestone, Jadeja immediately walked towards Ben Stokes for a handshake, followed by the young India all-rounder.

Things were going smoothly till then, but Stokes decided to 'behave like a spoiled kid' and refused to shake hands with Sundar and Jadeja when all the players lined up for customary handshakes.
India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja even put forward his hand seeing Ben Stokes approaching, but the England skipper ignored him, leading to a heated exchange between the duo.

"After that Jadeja went to Ben Stokes to shake hands after the match was over. Ben was still furious. When the actual discussion was happening, Jadeja was handling it really well. He was smiling. Towards the end, Ben Stokes didn’t shake his hands. And that’s when I thought Jadeja also lost his cool. He had kept his cool until then," said Sanjay Manjrekar on JioHotstar.
