Captain Shubman Gill led the way with a composed 103 while KL Rahul hit 90 off 230 balls.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Spin-bowling all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar also reached their respective centuries while sharing a stand of 203 runs for the fifth wicket on the final day\u2019s play, as India reached 425\/4. The duo also ignored England\u2019s offer to shake hands on a draw when both batters were in the 80s.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"The moment in the tournament was when India drew the Test series (game in Manchester). I've never seen, in a very long time, Washington and Jadeja, get hundreds and drew a Test match, and that speaks volumes,\u201d Yuvraj said in a video posted on ICC\u2019s Instagram account on Thursday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Spin-bowling all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar also reached their respective centuries while sharing a stand of 203 runs for the fifth wicket on the final day\u2019s play, as India reached 425\/4.

Although it's a drawn series because it's a young team and it's not easy to go and play well in England and prove yourself.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h5>Article Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/ians.in\/english-wire\/sports\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\">IANS<\/a><\/h5>",
