The last dramatic day of the fourth test at Old Trafford delivered not only a hard print and a series of inflamed moments – from the call of England for a mutual print, to the strikers of India and the drop in early hand handles, from visible tensions in final exchanges. After the animated fight of India which saw them recover from 0/2 with centuries of Shubman Gill, Ravi will ravaged Jadeja and an unbeaten 101 of Washington Sundar, the emotions ran high on both sides. While the cricket effort praised, it was a post-match moment involving Ben Stokes who illuminated social networks. Several clips broadcast online said that the captain of England refused to shake hands with Jadeja and Sundar, supposedly in response to the drop in the drop in an early draw and continuing to beat the last session.

However, a more in -depth aspect puts speculation at rest. Video evidence published on X clearly shows that Stokes offering a handshake to Jadeja after the game of the day. The interaction was brief, almost ephemeral, while Stokes quickly exceeded the Indian strikers, but that happened. So, has Ben Stokes snobbed a handshake? The answer is no. The score of the 2-1 series in favor of England remains unchanged after the draw, but the emotional moments of the Old Trafford finish should spread in the final test at the oval. With everything to play and the temperaments that simmer, the decision maker promises more drama with high issues. The final test of the five game series will start on July 31.
