CHENNAI: India allrounder Washington Sundar had to wait nearly four-and-a-half years to notch up his maiden Test century.It could not have come at a better time for the 25-year-old, who made a terrific Test debut in India’s famous Brisbane win in 2021 but did not follow it up with the bat.

India's batting brilliance in the ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy continued to reach new heights as Washington Sundar's maiden Test hundred in the drawn fourth Test at Manchester took the team's tally of individual centuries in the series to 11,

Stokes at least afforded England an opening before the second new ball. Jofra Archer removed Gill, caught behind after an injudicious waft, but only after joining Don Bradman in a select club who made four hundreds in a series against England and the great Australian and Sunil Gavaskar who managed four in one as captain.
