England cricket team raised controversy

India’s defeat in the fourth Test was considered to be sure, but till 5 sessions, the Indian batsmen stood like a rock and draw the match. This was not a victory for India but England was definitely defeated, the players of England did a new trick.

Shubman Gill did not accept this proposal, although Team India could not win this match but the captain wanted Jadeja and Sundar to convert this brilliant innings into a century. The same happened, both of them completed their centuries, this was the first international century of Sundar. Earlier, Shubman Gill also scored a century.
