In a remarkable display of resilience, West Indies fought back strongly after being asked to follow on in the second Test against India at Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium.
Centuries from John Campbell and Shai Hope, along with a crucial 79-run partnership between Justin Greaves and Jayden Seales, propelled the West Indies to a competitive total of 390 runs in their second innings.
While India were set a modest target of 121 runs to win, Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav took centre stage with the ball, each claiming three wickets to keep the contest alive.
### Resilience from West Indies: Campbell and Hope Lead the Charge
Following on, John Campbell and Shai Hope put up a resilient stand, adding 177 runs for the second wicket that significantly strengthened West Indies’ position. The partnership was finally broken on Day 4 when Ravindra Jadeja dismissed Campbell.
Hope continued to fight hard, taking West Indies past the 270-run mark before falling to a Mohammed Siraj delivery. After that, it was the bowling brilliance of Kuldeep Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah that swung the momentum back in India’s favour.
### Bowling Brilliance: Kuldeep and Bumrah Shine
