Campbell scripts history vs India, eclipses Gayle and Powell with 65-ball century

West Indies opener John Campbell delivered a historic batting performance during the second One Day International against India, reaching a century off just sixty-five deliveries. His aggressive knock included nine boundaries and five maximums, establishing the quickest hundred by a visiting batsman against India in this format.

Earlier in the innings, Campbell also surpassed a previous milestone held by Chris Gayle by registering the fastest fifty against the same opponents in twenty-nine balls. This aggressive start aimed to help the visitors rebound after dropping the opening match of the three-game series by eight wickets.

India won the toss under captain Shubman Gill and elected to field, introducing debutant pace bowler Auqib Nabi while adjusting their bowling attack. The visiting side made four roster alterations due to injuries and tactical shifts, positioning themselves for a competitive total at the midway point of the match.
