Stalwart Stand: Jadeja and Sundar's Batting Resilience in the Fourth Test

Cricket legend Geoffrey Boycott lent his support to Indian batters Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar as they resolved to bat on the final day of the drawn fourth Test against England. The pair's unwavering performance thwarted England's attempts to secure a definitive result, even as skipper Ben Stokes extended the olive branch of a draw.

Boycott commended the Indian duo's resilience as they rescued their team from a precarious situation, overcoming a vast first-innings deficit. Their unbeaten partnership stood at a formidable 203 runs for the fifth wicket, providing India the fortitude to force a draw.

The former England captain criticized excessive sledging from modern players and questioned the efficacy of England's bowling attack, applauding Stokes' efforts while cautioning against over-reliance on the all-rounder. As the series approaches its conclusion at The Oval, England leads 2–1.
