Pandya is likely to feature in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy to prove match fitness before returning for the T20I series against South Africa and New Zealand.

Meanwhile, Bumrah will be rested as part of the BCCI’s workload management plan. Since recovering from a major back issue earlier this year, his appearances have been carefully spaced out. He recently played three Tests against England but skipped the Australia ODIs.

The ODI series, concluding on December 6, holds limited long-term significance with the next 50-over World Cup still two years away. Most players are now focused on securing their place for the T20 World Cup scheduled for February–March next year.

Campbell’s century is the first by a West Indies opener in India in 23 years. He shared a 177-run stand with Shai Hope, who remained unbeaten on 92, eight runs short of a century. Roston Chase supported with 23 not out.

West Indies dominated the morning session, adding 79 runs for the loss of Campbell. Despite testing spells from Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja, the pair kept the scoreboard ticking with singles and doubles. Campbell reached his milestone with a stunning slog-sweep over long-on and celebrated with his team.

After lunch, Hope and Chase continued the momentum. Chase struck a six and four to reduce the deficit under 50 runs. By lunch, West Indies had another solid session, keeping India under pressure after enforcing the follow-on.

Brief Scores: India 518/5 in 134.2 overs lead West Indies 248 & 252/3 (John Campbell 115, Shai Hope 92*; Siraj 1-26, Sundar 1-68) by 18 runs.
