'Classless Gesture From Stokes': Panesar Hits Out At England Captain For Handshake Controversy In Manchester
New Delhi: Former spinner Monty Panesar has criticised England captain Ben Stokes, stating that his gesture was "classless" when he forcefully tried to call a draw during the fourth Test against India at Old Trafford in Manchester.
The incident unfolded on the final session of the fourth Test when Stokes tried to persuade Ravindra Jadeja to shake hands and call it a draw, but the Indian all-rounder refused to do so and went on to score his fifth Test century. His batting partner on the crease, Washington Sundar, also completed his maiden Test hundred.
The duo was involved in an unbeaten 203-run stand that brought India back in the game after being reduced to 222/4 just before lunch in their second innings.
