Khary Pierre on 2nd Test against India: We’re still in it

West Indies left-arm spinner Khary Pierre remains steadfast in his belief that his team can stage a comeback against India, despite facing a daunting 97-run deficit at the close of day three in the second Test in Delhi. India set a formidable first-innings total of 518/5 declared, leaving the West Indies struggling at 248 all out, trailing by 270 runs. However, the visitors showed resilience on the third day, with opener John Campbell (87 not out) and top-order batsman Shai Hope (66 not out) steering the team to 173/2 by stumps. Pierre emphasized that the Test match is still alive, provided the team maintains focus and discipline at the crease. While a West Indies victory seems unlikely, Pierre did not dismiss the possibility, acknowledging that a draw would be preferable to a loss. He praised Campbell and Hope for their spirited performance, which has kept the West Indies in contention with two days remaining. Pierre also reflected on his own experience, describing his second Test match as a challenging yet educational opportunity to adapt to the demands of the longer format.
