India Salvages Draw Against England With Jadeja, Sundar Centuries Across Manchester, Old Trafford

India fought hard to salvage a draw against England in the fourth Test at Manchester after overcoming a 311-run first innings deficit. Key partnerships, particularly the patient 188-run stand between KL Rahul and captain Shubman Gill and the resilient century partnership between Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja, were crucial in India's resistance. Sundar and Jadeja both scored centuries, with Sundar promoted to number five and Jadeja playing a vital role despite a dropped catch early in their innings. England captain Ben Stokes delivered a personal triumph with a century and five wickets in the match, although fitness issues limited his bowling on the final day. Despite Stokes' efforts and several near dismissals, India managed to bat out nearly 150 overs, with Gill setting a new record for most runs by an Indian batsman in a series against England. The match ended in a draw, marking only the second draw in England's Bazball era, largely due to the determined performances from India's lower order.
