The ruckus is not stopping after the Manchester Test! Sunil Gavaskar’s anger exploded on ‘Handshek Controversy’, Ben Stokes & Company heard
Sunil gavaskar on ben stokes handshake controversy:
After the draw in the Manchester Test, the ‘Handshek controversy’ does not seem to stop. Former Indian captain and great batsman Sunil Gavaskar has broken his silence on this issue and has reprimanded the English team captained by Ben Stokes.
Significantly, the result of the fourth Test match played between India and England was a draw. This ‘handshake controversy’ came to light in the last hour of the match. At that time, Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar, who were at the crease, were very close to their century and they turned down the proposal.
Sunil Gavaskar narrates well
In a video shared on Sony Sports Network, Sunil Gavaskar said, “I am proud of this Indian team. The way he draws the match while playing under pressure is fantastic.” He further questioned England’s strategy, saying, “If Stokes was so soon, why did he take a lead of 311 runs? Wasn’t the 240-250 lead enough? The bowlers would have got more time if they had announced only after the century of Stokes.”
Sunil Gavaskar accused England of adopting double standards, saying that the England players were scared when India gave a target of more than 600 runs. But when he himself was giving India a target of 336, he was hoping that India would leave the match.
On the last day of the Manchester Test, when India managed to draw a match to the match, the ‘Handshek controversy’ came to light. Jadeja and beautiful were close to the century, so they rejected the proposal to finish the match by joining the hands of Ben Stokes. This showed resentment in the English camp and the process of taunts started. The two batsmen later completed the century and then ended the game with hands. This incident has launched a debate about the sportsmanship.
