4th Test: Jadeja, Sundar Hit Centuries As Superb India Defy England To Secure Draw
With India at 0/2 and 311 runs behind in the beginning of their second innings, it seemed they would lose the match and the series. But a monumental, strong and resolute batting show – led by hundreds from Shubman Gill (103), Jadeja (107 not out) and Sundar (100 not out) – along with KL Rahul’s 90 meant the visitors conjured up a miraculous escape and secure a memorable, hard-fought draw.
The result also means England, whose bowling performance on day five was iffy, are still up 2-1 going into the last match at The Oval, starting on Thursday. Their frustration on not getting a win was quite evident when Jadeja and Washington, promoted to number five due to Rishabh Pant’s injury, refused their offer of an early draw, and went on to achieve their three-figure milestones.
