Former India player turned veteran commentator Aakash Chopra has questioned Ben Stokes for making a drama after Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar’s refusal to accept a draw in the fourth Test as well. He also wondered why Jadeja and Sundar should have shaken the England team’s hands and left the field when they were nearing their centuries as well.

In a video shared on his YouTube channel, ‘Aakash Chopra,’ he said, “Should we start with Ben Stokes’ drama? I am calling it a drama because it was wrong. What power were you trying to show off? You were showing a holier-than-thou attitude for what? What spirit of the game were you talking about? In the mandatory overs, in the 15 overs of play in the last one hour, you go out when both teams decide.”

“Even if one team says that they want to play more, you have to bowl. I will tell you the sequence of events, and it got my goat. The problem is that he asked to shake hands and go home when one guy was on 89 and the other guy was on 80 with 15 overs of play left. Why should the handshake be done? We won’t do it,” he again shared.

However, Aakash Chopra also stated that England captain Ben Stokes’ words to Ravindra Jadeja made no sense as the Indian batters weren’t asking him to bowl Harry Brook as well.

“In any case, you are the Bazball team that says we don’t believe in draws. Ben Stokes actually said whether you would get happy by scoring a hundred against Harry Brook, and I have a question. Did I ask you to bowl Harry Brook? You can get Jofra Archer, Brydon Carse or Chris Woakes to bowl, or bowl yourself,” he said.

“Why are you showing attitude to us? I don’t get it. You couldn’t dismiss the Indian batters. Jadeja and Washington Sundar ran you into the ground. You tried everything. The spinner bowled bouncers, but you couldn’t dismiss them. If you are unable to dismiss them, and one is on 89 and the other is on 80, and if they want to bat and get to their centuries, what is wrong in that?” Aakash Chopra concluded.
