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.
Another clickbait headline lol. The “refusal” was literally just both players walking in different direction. But sure lets make it a controversy 😂
Just watched the video and its clearly edited! Stokes didnt refuse anything, they just missed each other in the celebration. Media always making drama out of nothing smh
Oh great, another riveting story about cricketers not shaking hands. This is definitly the biggest problem facing cricket today 🙄
Wow such breaking news. A handshake that didnt happen. Im sure the world will never recover from this tragedy. What ever will we do???
Thank you for actually fact checking! So rare these days
Am I the only one who thinks maybe both of them just didnt notice eachother? But no lets jump to conclusions and act like its world war 3
Context matters people! Stokes was being pulled away by teammates for interview and Jadeja was heading to pavillion. Nothing sinister here just bad timing
Watched it. Nothing happened. They both was looking other way. End of story
People really need to find better things to worry about than weather two grown men shaked hands or not lmao. Maybe focus on the actual game??
This is disgraceful behaviour from Stokes!! How can you not shake hands with opponent after match?? No respect at all these days in cricket.
Finally someone checking facts! I saw this 3 times already and Stokes actually shaked hands with Jadeja at 2:47 in the full footage. These kind of fake news need to stop
Maybe Stokes was just tired? Or didnt see him? Why everyone assuming the worst immediatly without context
LOL the amount of people freaking out over this is hilarious. Its like watching conspiracy theorists analyze Kennedy assassination but for cricket handshakes 😅
Typical British arrogance!! Always thinking they better than everyone else. Jadeja deserves better respect!!
If you actually watch the FULL video not just the 10 second clip going viral, you can see Stokes shaking hands with the entire Indian team including Jadeja. This is manipulated footage taken out of context to create controversy where none exist. Shame on whoever started this rumor
