During the intense fourth Test match between India and England, a brief but noticeable moment caught the attention of fans and cameras. Indian all-rounder Washington Sundar appeared to ignore England batter Harry Brook’s handshake as Ravindra Jadeja reached a memorable century.
The moment unfolded late in India’s innings when Jadeja brought up his hundred. As the Indian team and crowd celebrated, Harry Brook walked up to Washington Sundar to offer a handshake, perhaps as a gesture of sportsmanship. However, Sundar, completely immersed in the celebrations, walked past without acknowledging Brook’s extended hand.
The video clip of the incident quickly spread on social media. Fans had mixed reactions, with some calling it an unintentional miss due to the high emotions of the moment, while others saw it as a sign of intensity on the field.
It’s worth noting that Sundar was likely caught in the excitement of Jadeja’s achievement. The Indian dressing room was on its feet, applauding the all-rounder’s knock. Jadeja’s century was a crucial one for India, helping to stabilize the innings at a key point in the match.
Washington Sundar, playing his part in the lower order, supported Jadeja well. His focus during that moment may have simply been on the team’s success rather than individual gestures.
So far, neither player has commented on the incident. On-field tensions and such missed gestures are not unusual in competitive matches. What matters most is the spirit of the game, and both teams have maintained professionalism throughout the series.
This small on-field moment has sparked discussion, but it doesn’t take away from the quality of cricket displayed. Jadeja’s century remains the highlight of the day, showcasing his consistency and value in India’s middle order.
As the series continues, fans can expect more high-pressure moments, emotions, and outstanding performances. Whether intentional or not, Sundar’s gesture will likely be forgotten in the long run. However, for now, it remains one of the many dramatic clips from a tightly contested Test series.
