Gutsy Partnerships Shine as West Indies Fight Back Against India

John Campbell and Shai Hope's partnership helped West Indies post 252-3 at lunch, nearing the target to avoid an innings defeat against India on day four of the second test. Despite Campbell's dismissal, the team demonstrated a fighting spirit with Hope continuing to anchor the innings.

On day four of the second and final test against India, a valorous effort from John Campbell, followed by Shai Hope's resilience, powered West Indies to 252-3 at lunch. The side is striving to avert an innings defeat.

In Delhi, after a disappointing performance in Ahmedabad, West Indies were set to follow on post their first innings score of 248 against India's imposing 518-5. A remarkable 177-run partnership formed for the third wicket between Campbell (115) and Hope (92), reflecting an admirable turnaround in their batting strategy.

Captain Roston Chase held his ground with 23. Campbell, amidst early challenges, achieved his maiden test century, later falling lbw via Ravindra Jadeja. His innings, punctuated by three sixes and 12 fours, underscored an inspiring comeback for the team.
