[WATCH] Ravindra Jadeja traps John Campbell LBW during IND vs WI 2nd Test in Delhi

The fourth day of the second Test between India and West Indies at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi started with the home side’s desire to break the overnight century third-wicket stand between Shai Hope and John Campbell. After enforcing the follow-on and picking two wickets, they failed to break the opponent’s stand for the entire third session. 

The morning session started with India trying various plans. Jasprit Bumrah made life harder for John Campbell, who was on his 90s by that time. But he survived that period and celebrated his maiden Test hundred with a huge six, swept with the spin to Ravindra Jadeja. It was high time for the Indian bowlers to break the stand to dismiss one of the batters.

After the drinks break, Jadeja found the outside edge of Campbell, but Dhruv Jurel failed to grab the ball, which went between the keeper and the slip fielder into the boundary. However, on the very next delivery, the left-handed batter tried a reverse sweep and failed to connect with the ball.

Jadeja kept running in the cerebral appeal as Jurel and KL Rahul kept appealing to the umpire. Paul Reiffel took eternity before raising the vital finger once the spinner turned down on the appeal. Campbell sent it upstairs as the review confirmed no bat was involved with the ball going into hit the stumps to show three reds.

It was the end of a terrific knock from Campbell, who smashed 115 runs, with the help of 12 boundaries and three sixes. He also became the first West Indies opening batter to celebrate a century in India after 19 years. His 177-run stand with Shai Hope for the third wicket is their highest ever stand for the wicket against India in India.

West Indies had almost erased the deficit, but they will aim to get a lead of around 200 or 250 runs, which would throw a challenge for the home batting unit. They were 1-0 behind in he series, and it would be their job to push for the win.
