India now heads to The Oval for the fifth and final Test from July 31 to August 4, trailing 1-2 in the series. But Sundar’s knock has already made headlines for the grit that he shown when the team needed it most.

How did Washington Sundar score his maiden overseas Test century?

Walking out to bat under pressure at Old Trafford, Sundar came in after the fall of KL Rahul and Shubman Gill, who had revived India from a collapse.

He batted at No. 5 for the first time in his Test career and showed maturity beyond his age. Partnering with Ravindra Jadeja, the pair ensured that England’s hopes of a win slipped away session by session.

Sundar finished unbeaten on 101 off 206 balls, and Jadeja too scored 107 not out. Their 203-run stand for the fifth wicket helped India draw the match.
