In a remarkable display of resilience, West Indies batsmen John Campbell and Shai Hope staged a crucial partnership on the third day of the second Test against India at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. Campbell remained unbeaten on 87, while Hope scored 66 not out, guiding the West Indies to 173/2 at stumps. Their unbroken 138-run stand for the third wicket provided a glimmer of hope for the visitors, who had been staring at an imminent defeat earlier in the day. The West Indies still trail by 97 runs to avoid an innings defeat, but their performance marked a significant improvement after a dismal first innings. Earlier, India had enforced the follow-on after dismissing the West Indies for 248, following their mammoth first innings total of 518/5 declared. Kuldeep Yadav was the standout bowler for India, claiming a five-wicket haul (5/82), while Ravindra Jadeja contributed with 3/46. Despite the odds, Campbell and Hope’s aggressive yet composed batting has given the West Indies a fighting chance to extend the match.
