Great escape at Old Trafford: Shubman Gill leads the way, Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar seal gritty draw for India
(L-R) Shubman Gill, Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar score centuries on Day 5 at the Old Trafford. (AP) in Manchester: Fifteen overs left, drinks in the middle and Ben Stokes walked towards Ravindra Jadeja with his hand extended for a shake. The England captain was ready to end the game as a draw but Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar didn't move an inch. So didn't captain Shubman Gill in the change room. Jadeja was in striking distance of his individual hundred and even after Stokes insistence on shaking the hands, the all-rounder maintained, "I can't do anything". The writing was on the wall but it was India's time to have some fun after a long grind. And they did as both Jadeja and Sundar scored their respective hundreds and then finally the shake hands happened. In the backyard of the team which hates the D word, Shubman Gill and Co's great escape - a fighting draw - at Old Trafford will taste as sweet as a comprehensive W. Five hard fought sessions and four fantastic knocks later, the visitors not only stay alive in the series but will have their tails up going into a mouth-watering finale at The Oval next week. The Manchester Test was nowhere close to India's reach at the half-way mark but the last two days saw them stage an extraordinary fightback with the bat to enforce the draw. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Bowling was flat, tactics were flatter and the start with the bat on Day 4 pushed them further back but the response from KL Rahul, Shubman Gill, Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja deserves a lot of credit. For a side which was reduced to 0/2 in the first over of their second essay to lose only two more in the remaining 143 overs, is an insane effort and frustrated England for five long sessions, and forced them to settle for only their second draw under the combination of captain Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum. India vs England rain, weather forecast: Can Shubman Gill-KL Rahul pull off stunning draw? They tried everything in and out of the book to make an inroad but nothing worked. It was the right-handed pair of Gill and Rahul on Day 4 before the lefties Sundar and Jadeja stood like a rock on the final day of the Test. It was a reflection of their match temperament, game awareness and the gumption to bat out time against an opposition which just hates to settle for a draw in the whites. These were individual batting masterclasses stitched together in two daddy stands but something which the dressing room desperately needed after ending up on the wrong side of the 2-1 scoreline post the Lord's Test. They haven't been outplayed or outsmarted in the series so far but the inability to close out the small moments, which have had a big say in the match, have hurt them. Poll Who was the standout player for India in the Manchester Test? Ravindra Jadeja Washington Sundar Shubman Gill While they are still far from an ideal Playing XI - mostly due to injuries and availability issues - but the exhibition of grit in the last two days in overcast Manchester will do their confidence a world of good. A lot was said about Gill's success overseas but here is after four Tests sitting with four hundreds next to his name and a tally of 732 runs. The two failures in Lord's and in Manchester first innings got the tongues to wag again but he shut the traps for good with a statement ton which is arguably his finest till date. Captaincy pressure, questions on tactics, scorecard reading 0/2 but the youngster quite literally shut the outside noise and put in an old-fashioned grind to set the base for batters to follow. There were nervy moments, a couple of drop catches, blows to the body but it was all worth it as it allowed his side to have the only favourable result at that stage. There was a tricky period after the wickets of Rahul and Gill in the first session but the response from Sundar and Jadeja was as compact as India would have liked. Jadeja made the early life count and used all his experience to counter whatever was thrown at him. Four fifties, one hundred and it has been a phenomenal series with the bat for Jadeja and he has been the crisis man for India lower down the order. A victory was out of the picture the moment they dished out an ordinary effort with the ball and it was all about saving the game from there on. With Jadeja behind the wheel on the final day, not only did they fashion that but also did something which not many expected this side, undergoing transition under a 25-year-old captain, to do - stay alive after four Day 5 finishes.

"India Cricket Is In Safe Hands": Shubman Gill Receives Big Praise After Record Ton
Former Indian wicketkeeper and batter Dinesh Karthik praised India's Test captain Shubman Gill after his fourth hundred in the ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy against England. Gill carved his name alongside legends as he smashed his fourth century of the series--a superbly composed 103 on the final day of the fourth Test against England at Old Trafford on Sunday. While India still trailed by 88 runs at the time of his dismissal, Gill had already created history. In terms of overall World Test Championship (WTC) numbers, Gill's record continues to grow stronger. He now has nine centuries in the WTC era, equalling former Indian skipper Rohit Sharma's tally--although Gill has done it in just 67 innings compared to Rohit's 69. "This young boy from Punjab, setting it alight in England. There were questions about him as a batter, and he's put that to bed. He's been outstanding. He's taken to leadership like a duck to water. India cricket is in safe hands," Karthik said on air, as quoted from Sky Sports. As the series stands, Gill has already amassed an unbeaten 722 runs, surpassing Yashasvi Jaiswal's 712 against England at home just last year. Only Sunil Gavaskar has scored more in a single Test series for India -- his 774 runs in the 1971 away tour of the West Indies and 732 at home in 1978/79. With the fifth Test still to come, Gill has every chance of surpassing both of Gavaskar's legendary marks. Coming to the match, Gill's exceptional innings of 103 keeps his side in the game as his side posted 223 runs with the loss of four wickets at the end of the first session on Day 5 against England. At the stroke of lunch, the visitors are 223/4, with Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja unbeaten at the crease. The Shubman Gill-led side still trails the Three Lions' total of 669 by 88 runs. Team India started the first session of the fifth and final day of the fourth Test from 174/2 with Gill (78*) and opener KL Rahul (87*) unbeaten at the crease.

One hour of Ben Stokes in Manchester: One shoulder, one spell, one statement
England captain Ben Stokes (AP) in Manchester: 8-2-11-1. Forty-eight eventful deliveries, one big wicket of KL Rahul, and almost the dismissal of Shubman Gill, Enland captain Ben Stokes on Sunday put on a spectacle, not just another show, at Old Trafford on an overcast Day 5 morning of the Manchester Test. He constantly rubbed his shoulder, clutched his hamstring, felt stiffness in the bicep of his bowling arm, and grimaced in pain every over, yet kept charging in during what turned out to be a gripping passage of play. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Operating from the Sir James Anderson End, Stokes—who brought himself on in the second over of the day—immediately identified the variable zone and relentlessly targeted it from wide of the crease. The angle and the tricks offered by the pitch made life difficult for the overnight pair of Rahul and Gill. Some deliveries kept alarmingly low, while others reared awkwardly off a good length. The right-handers struggled to deal with the angle and two-paced bounce, which ultimately led to Rahul's dismissal. The ball jagged back sharply after pitching, and the low bounce trapped Rahul plumb in front. Stokes was elated, forgetting all his niggles in that moment. He leapt in celebration but held back slightly, letting out a restrained fist pump. With spring in his stride, the England captain wasn't ready to ease off. He could sense another wicket coming with the pressure he was building. India looked tentative—Gill had already survived a close chance and taken a painful blow to his right thumb. After Rahul's exit, Gill was the big fish, and Stokes was determined to remove him. So much so that he bowled an eight-over spell before handing over to the pacers armed with the second new ball. Before Day 5, there had been many questions surrounding whether Stokes would bowl at all. But he seemed locked in, ready to give it everything. That spirited spell not only broke a stubborn partnership but also kept Jofra Archer, Chris Woakes, and Brydon Carse fresh for a later burst with the new ball. Considering his already immense workload in the series—including a five-wicket haul and a century at Lord's, followed by two days of bed rest—Stokes had to dig deep into his reserves for that effort. Across five days, he barely left the field, constantly challenging the opposition with bat and ball. His intensity never dropped. At a time when player workload is a trending concern, Stokes has seemingly erased the word from his vocabulary. In this ongoing battle of I vs Me vs India, Ben Stokes remains the real winner.
