Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar took the perfect revenge on Harry Brook during the drawn fourth Test between India and England at the Old Trafford Cricket Ground in Manchester. On Day 5, Harry Brook tried his best to unsettle Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar with his mind games.

But the Indian spin all-rounders were firm in not letting England take the ongoing five-match Test series in Manchester, at least. The duo fought until the end, smashing their first Test centuries on English soil, and celebrated wildly before agreeing to shake hands at the Old Trafford Cricket Ground.

Sundar completely ignored Brook’s gesture and went straight to Jadeja to join in the celebration. He didn’t even look back at the England star, as he was clear to get his maiden Test ton in Manchester. Just a few overs later, Sundar brought up his first-ever Test hundred.

With both players reaching their milestones, India finally agreed to end the match in a draw. Earlier, Jadeja also ignored Ben Stokes’ offer to end the match in a draw when they were near their centuries. And now the clip of Jadeja and Sundar ignoring Brook has been going viral on social media.

Later, Gill revealed that it was actually Jadeja and Sundar who chose not to shake hands. They wanted to stay out there a little longer and reach their personal milestones.
