India vs West Indies LIVE: Pitch report
"It's a Day 4 pitch, the bounce has become lower and the bowlers will look to make most of the footholes. You can expect spinners to operate from the end which has more wear and tear with the pacers operating from the other end. You need to pull the length back, bowl wicket-to-wicket and force the batters to play more horizontal shots. As for the batters, you will need to bat with a straight bat as much as possible."
India vs West Indies LIVE: Shubman Gill's call under fire
Team India bowled passionately in the first innings to bundle out the West Indies, in order to enforce a follow-on. However, things did not go as per the plan for Team India as the West Indies duo of John Campbell and Shai Hope stitched a fiery partnership.

India vs West Indies LIVE: Here's what Kuldeep said after Day 3
"We started really well. The wicket is good to bat on and there wasn't any pace on the wicket, so we just tried to hit it the right length. Hitting the stumps was my plan. The first innings was brilliant. Second innings, they batted really well, Hope and Campbell started hitting very well. And they are batting really well at the moment. (On the wicket) It looks pretty well to bat. The wicket is obviously slower. And there isn't any the pace on the wicket, so you have to create and generate the energy. And for wrist-spinners, it is difficult sometimes," said Kuldeep.
India vs West Indies LIVE: WI aim to avoid defeat by innings
The West Indies still need 97 runs to force India to bat again and avoid defeat by an innings margin. Although India's victory is a certainty, the counter-attack from John Campbell and Shai Hope would give them renewed confidence before their tour of New Zealand.
