When the Indian team declared their innings closed on 518 for 5, they naturally expected the West Indies team to fold up quickly, as they would have done in the recent past.
However, this time around, the Windies team showed real fight.
John Campbell and Shai Hope scored centuries, and Justin Greaves scored an unbeaten half-century, with Jaden Seales at number eleven carving out 32.
They forced the match into day five, which is unprecedented in the team’s recent history. That in itself is highly commendable and speaks well for the future of West Indies cricket.
