Reacting to India rejecting Ben Stokes' early draw offer in Manchester Test, Sachin Tendulkar said, "The series was alive...why should [Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar] shake hands and give rest to England bowlers and fielders?" He added, "If England wanted to hand the ball to Harry Brook, it was Ben Stokes' choice. It wasn't India's problem...To me, it was fine."
