John Campbell and Shai Hope shone with the bat as West Indies put on a total of 390 on the board in their second innings. Once again, it looked like WI’s innings would fold early, but the senior duo took on India’s bowling attack. Campbell scored 115 off 199 balls. Hope ended his century drought and breached the 100-run mark in Tests for the first time in 8 years.

The experienced batsmen added 177 runs for the third wicket to take WI’s score past the 200-run mark. They created history and etched their name in history books during their partnership.

They now own the record of the highest third-wicket partnership for WI against India in this century. The overall record for the highest 3rd-wicket partnership against India belongs to Alvin Kalicharan and Viv Richards. They put on a 220-run partnership in 1976 in Bridgetown.

Kuldeep Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah scalped 3 wickets each. Mohammed Siraj dismissed two batters while Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar scalped one wicket each.
