CRICKET – India closed in on a comprehensive victory, and a 2-0 series sweep, in the final Test against West Indies yesterday but it was far from a cakewalk as the touring side offered spirited resistance thanks to hundreds by John Campbell and Shai Hope.
Chasing 121 for victory, India were 63-1 at stumps and West Indies will draw solace from being able to force a final-day finish after being made to follow on.
B Sai Sudharsan (30) and KL Rahul (25) were in the middle for India, who need 58 more runs to seal the win.
“They took their chances, and once the field was spread out, they were really sensible with their game,” India’s spin-bowling all-rounder Washington Sundar told reporters yesterday.
Beaten inside three days in the series opener in Ahmedabad, West Indies were made to follow on in Delhi after being bowled out for 248 replying to India’s 518-5 declared.
