Fact Check: Did Stokes really not join hands with Jadeja and Sundar? Here is the real truth
There was a lot of drama between England and India in the last one hour of the Manchester Test. Finally, this match was a draw but what was seen before that he entertained everyone. After the match, a video is going viral, seeing that it is being said that Stokes may not join hands with Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar after being drawn.
Let us tell you the truth of this video. In fact, the England captain had earlier given a chance to accept the Draws by joining hands to the batsmen of Team India, which they turned down and the match was declared a draw only after completing his century. However, a new video has surfaced online in which Stokes can be seen shaking hands with Sundar and Jadeja after the match is over.
The video of this incident was uploaded by England’s Barmi Army with this caption on its official account, “Anyone who is suggesting that Ben Stokes did not join hands with Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar.”

Earlier on Sunday, a video of the tradition of joining hands after the match between the two teams went viral. In the video, Ben Stokes went out of them without any gratitude, ignoring Jadeja and Sundar. Refusal to join hands has given up speculation and debate, some people consider it a response to India to reject the first draw proposal.
At the same time, if we talk about this Test series, then after four matches, the scoreline is 2–1 and now the last Test match becomes very important for India because if India does not win that Test, they will lose the series 2-1 or 3-1.
