Despite trailing by 311 runs in the Manchester Test match against England, Team India made a strong comeback to everyone. A 200 -run partnership team between captain Shubman Gill and KL Rahul laid the foundation of this comeback and then on the last day, Ravindra Jadeja, along with Washington Sundar, ended England’s lead and gave Team India a lead. Jadeja has consistently performed with his bat in this series, but Sundar also showed his strength in this innings. With this, Sundar achieved a special place after 1605 days.
On the last day of the fourth Test match at the Old Trafford Stadium, Team India was 137 runs away from England’s 311 -run lead. At the beginning of the first session, KL Rahul was dismissed on the score of 90 runs. Rishabh Pant was injured, due to which the Indian team had to change the batting order. Sundar was sent to Sundar in place of Ravindra Jadeja, who was running in good form, which was a bit shocking. But this decision finally proved to be correct.
Sundar’s half -century after 1605 days
Sundar handled the innings with captain Gill in the first session and when he was out, Jadeja came for batting and both started a great partnership from here. During this, Sundar did the wonders, which he had been waiting for more than 4 years. Left -handed batsman Sundar completed his half -century by hitting a six off the balls and fours in the over of Ben Stokes. In this way, after 1605 days, Sundar scored a half -century in Test cricket against England. Earlier, on 5 March 2021, he scored 96 runs (not out) against this team in Ahmedabad.
Jadeja’s 5th half -century
This was the fifth half -century of Sundar’s Test career, out of which he achieved this position for the third time against England. Not only beautiful, Jadeja also continued his best form and crossed the fifty figure for the 5th time in this Test series. In this way, both of them batting in the second session without any hassle and did not allow England to achieve any success. On this, the Indian team completely removed the lead of England and took Team India forward in the match.
