England Star Shamed, Actions Described As 'Absolute Filth' Amid Ben Stokes-Ravindra Jadeja 'Handshake' Row
Drama unfolded in the final moments of the fourth Test between India and England at Old Trafford, as India batters Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar refused England captain Ben Stokes ' offer of a draw with 15 overs to go in the day. Both Jadeja and Sundar were nearing centuries, and wanted to get to the milestone, having taken India to safety and pulled off an unprecedented draw. It resulted in Stokes handing the ball to Harry Brook, who delivered a couple of dollies as Jadeja and Sundar raced to their hundreds. Brook's act has been criticised by several experts and fans, with former England cricketer Stuart Broad calling it "filth". "Harry Brook came on to bowl and he bowled absolute filth. He bowled off spin. It was a bit of an embarrassing moment," Broad said on the ' For The Love of Cricket ' podcast. "Right-arm medium pace and you come up and bowl off spin? I didn't know he bowled off spin. He looked like a poor man's Dan Lawrence in his action. He was trying to get the game done," Broad added. Team India head coach Gautam Gambhir has strongly backed his batters' decision to stay on the crease and complete their centuries, even as English skipper Ben Stokes offered a handshake for a draw. Speaking in a post-match press conference, Gambhir hit back at England when asked about the handshake standoff. "If someone is batting on 90 and the other is batting on 85, don't they deserve a hundred? Would they have walked off? If someone from England would've been batting on 90 or 85 and had the opportunity to score their first Test hundred, wouldn't you allow them to do it? See, it's up to them. If they want to play that way, it's up to them. I think both of those guys deserved a hundred, and they got it," said Gambhir. After India denied Stokes' request to shake hands and settle for a draw at the drinks break, Jadeja got his century by dancing down the pitch to whack Brook for six and smacked another full toss from the part-timer for four. Sundar then smacked Brook over extra cover for four, bringing up 200 of his partnership with Jadeja before a flick got him the two runs needed to raise his first Test century. Immediately after, the players shook hands for real to end the game in a draw, with India being the happier side, thanks to epic match-saving innings from Rahul, Gill, Jadeja, and Sundar keeping the visitors 'alive in the five-match series.

STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Lee Fortis responded to the controversy while speaking to reporters later in the day. He admitted that there was a tense moment with Gambhir.

What happened between Gambhir and Fortis? India's batting coach, Sitanshu Kotak, later explained what happened. While talking to reporters after the practice session on Tuesday, he said the argument began when Indian players were inspecting the pitch and someone told them to stay 2.5 metres away from it. 'When we were having a look at the wicket, they sent a man to tell us to stay 2.5 metres away from the pitch. We were wearing joggers. We know curators are possessive about the square. What he said about the head coach is his opinion and I don't want to comment. But we did nothing wrong,' Kotak said. 'You can be protective about the square, but not arrogant. It's not an antique that you can't touch. He said they were trying to grow grass, but we were in joggers so we didn't see the problem. He yelled at the Indian support staff when they were getting ice box, it hardly weighs 10 kgs. The way he spoke, it was a bit arrogant. Everyone knows the curator at The Oval is not the easiest person to deal with,' he added.

Curator: Inaudible Gambhir: You are just a groundsman. Just a groundsman, stay in your capacity.

WCL Semifinals Scenarios: Will India Vs Pakistan Be Cancelled Again?
India Champions are scheduled to face Pakistan Champions on Thursday in the semifinal of the 2025 World Championship of Legends. Amidst the diplomatic tensions between India and Pakistan, a veterans' T20 tournament is in the spotlight with the cricket teams of the two countries taking part in it. After their meeting earlier in the World Championship of Legends was cancelled with India players withdrawing their names, the two rivals are set to clash again after making it to the semifinals stage. Pakistan Champions qualified after topping the group stage with four wins and one no result from five matches while India Champions finished fourth after one win, one no result and three defeats. WCL 2025 Semifinal Lineups The format of the tournament is such that the top-four teams after the end of the league stage will advance to the semifinals. The team at the top of the points table will take on the fourth-placed side in the first semifinal on Thursday. On the same day, the second and fourth placed teams will square off in the second semifinal. As per the format, India will face Pakistan in the first semifinal while South Africa face Australia in the second semifinal. Will India-Pakistan Semifinal Clash Be Cancelled? Given the outrage over an Indian team comprising yesteryear stars like Yuvraj Singh, Shikhar Dhawan, Suresh Raina facing Pakistan, their league stage contest was called off. Dhawan and Raina confirmed their withdrawal via social media following which the match was abandoned with the two teams receiving a point each. Now, the big question: Will the semifinal match be called off too? Given what's riding on the outcome on this contest, it appears unlikely that it will be called off. However, Pakistan Champions owner Kamil Khan had earlier said that the schedule of the tournament will remain unaffected but a semifinal clash between the two teams will be avoided. 'As for the semifinals and final, we're currently saying that if we make it to the semifinals, there will be four teams, and we will avoid matches between the two teams," Kamil was quoted as saying by GeoNews. Should that happen, India Champions might end up facing either Australia or South Africa in their semifinal clash. What If It's India vs Pakistan in WCL Final? The organisers will have another headache should both India and Pakistan win their respective semifinal matches and end up meeting in the title clash. Will the final go ahead or be called off with both teams declared as joint winners? Or the team finishing the league stage at the top will be picked as the winner? tags : Australia Champions India Champions Pakistan Champions South Africa Champions World Championship of Legends view comments Location : New Delhi, India, India First Published: July 30, 2025, 08:46 IST News cricket WCL Semifinals Scenarios: Will India Vs Pakistan Be Cancelled Again?
