IND vs WI: Justin Greaves, Jayden Seales achieve rare Test record with their 79-run stand against India

West Indies' Justin Greaves and Jayden Seales etched their names in history books after their entertaining 79-run stand for the 10th wicket against India on Day 4 of the New Delhi Test. This is the first time that West Indies batters have put up a 50-plus partnership for the 10th wicket on Indian soil in the red-ball format. Greveas remained calm and composed and even scored his half-century and was unbeaten on 50 off 85 balls.

Their partnership not only frustrated the Indian bowling lineup but also brought back memories of the last such stand by visiting players. Last time, it was Australia's Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood who added above 50 runs for the 10th wicket in the Pune Test in 2017.

Coming back to the New Delhi Test, after a disappointing performance in the first innings, Shai Hope and Josh Campbell's centuries brought West Indies back into the game and set a 121-run target for the home side.
