On day 3 of the fourth test match between India and England, Washington Sundar stole the show by inching closer to his maiden Test ton. Unfortunately, he was left stranded at 96 runs as the Indian team was bowled out at 365.
Feel really bad for @Sundarwashi5 But he must feel really proud the way he batted and contributed to the Team when required. I am sure he will definitely get more opportunities to score 💯s #INDvENG pic.twitter.com/HKYroRNwlI

As per a report in Times Now, the cricketer couldn’t complete his century, but showcased his batting skills with a 100-run partnership with Rishabh Pant and another 100-run stand with Axar Patel.
Oh @Sundarwashi5, wasn't to be but very well played. There will be more centuries. It was batting of the highest class.

While many felt bad seeing Sundar being denied a century, former Indian cricketer Wasim Jaffer shared a light-hearted meme on his Twitter account:
Axar, Ishant and Siraj next time they meet Washington's father at a function😅
But seriously this 96* is no less than a hundred, very well played @Sundarwashi5 👏👏 #INDvENG pic.twitter.com/V6qRXBbwfl— Wasim Jaffer (@WasimJaffer14) March 6, 2021

4. And finally, people applauding Sundar for a worthy achievement.
Why is a 96* less valuable than a century? #WashingtonSundar #Perception

#WashingtonSundar didn’t get the milestone , but captured the hearts of Indians with his beautiful batting. He will get lots of opportunities now to score more centuries in future @Sundarwashi5 #INDvsENG
