Team West Indies (PTI Photo/Shahbaz Khan) (PTI10_10_2025_000039B) Spinner West Indies Khary Pierre expressed a surprise in the decision -making of India to force tracking during the third day of the second and last test at the ARUN Jaitley stadium on Sunday and praised his team’s counterattack. After West Indies was reported to 248 in its first shifts and watched 270 runs, showed resistance with the opener John Campbell, who scored undenuse 87 and Shai Hope reached 66, not in 138-Run partnership.Western India ended on the third day at 173/2 and needed 97 other runs to give India the bat again in its second shifts.“Actually, it was a little surprising that they returned to the bowl, although I know the goal was still good. For me personally the battle for a lot of time, watching the goal and seeing what it does, I think the goal is still a very good goal,” Pierre said, “Pierre said,” Pierre said, “Pierre said,” Pierre said.“I was surprised, but it is India and wanted to win the winners and probably did not think they had to go back to the bat. But whether it be, and I don’t think we take a big challenge to go to the bat and we have to burn this shift properly and try to make the game,” he added.Pierre attributed the team’s emphasis on the application and appreciated the struggle of the lower order in the first shifts, where he contributed 23 flew from 46 balls and shared 46 partnerships for the ninth goal with Anderson Philip.“It was a challenge. If you are watching the goal, it’s still good, but the odd ball is spinning. For me personally, I think the goal is also challenging. Indian batsmen also played well on their conditions; it added that it was a good idea that it was.“The application is what we preached in the dressing room, (Daren) Sammy (head coach) and coaching staff and everyone, preached in the dressing room and took it at once.Pierre, who only played in his second test match, acknowledged that experience was an important opportunity to learn.“I have learned a lot. This is a cricket of the test match, it will be challenging and difficult; the conditions are also challenging. But I learned that the things I have to do are coming to the test cricket, variation, getting more buying from the ball and the like,” he explained.Pierre expressed confidence in the platform established by Campbell and Hope will head for the fourth day.“A lot of self -confidence, I think the two Batsmen have laid a platform for us. This is a test match cricket, we’ll get it than they get worse, so the more runs we can accumulate, it may be a challenge for Indian Batsmens,” he said.“I think the goal is still good, with odd balls spinning a little. On the fifth day I think it’s getting worse, and as I said, stay low and turn a little more.”Pierre praised Campbell’s performance and noted that it was a well -deserved reward for his hard work, despite the unfortunate release in the first shifts.“John fired well. He had several releases that didn’t get into his journey, and as you can see his release in the first shifts, it was really hard to swallow,” Pierre said.Spinner emphasized the strategy of tabling the team forward.“It’s just a sequel and the thing is that at these gates, as soon as you start, you have to score a big, and that’s a goal. That’s what we’re trying to preach … try cash for the team,” Pierre concluded.
