    Campbell, Hope hit tons, but India poised for series sweep

    India stands on the cusp of a series-clinching victory over the West Indies after a dramatic fourth day in the second Test match on Monday. Despite valiant centuries from John Campbell and Shai Hope, the West Indies suffered a catastrophic middle-order collapse, ultimately being bowled out for 390. This left India with a modest target of 121 runs for victory, which they began confidently, ending the day at 63 for one. With just 58 runs needed on the final day, India is poised to secure a 2-0 series win. The West Indies, resuming at 173 for two, had high hopes after Campbell notched his maiden Test century and Hope ended an eight-year drought with his third. However, their efforts were undone by a stunning collapse from 271 for three to 311 for nine in just 11 overs. India’s bowlers, led by Jasprit Bumrah (3-44) and Kuldeep Yadav (3-104), capitalized on the Windies’ fragility. Despite a late 79-run partnership for the tenth wicket, the West Indies could not recover. India’s openers, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sai Sudharson, along with KL Rahul, have set the stage for a decisive final day.
