Three Centuries in One Innings! Campbell, Hope and Jangoo Stun India in 2nd ODI

West Indies produced a stunning batting display against India in the IND vs WI 2nd ODI in Guwahati on Wednesday, September 30, as John Campbell, Shai Hope and Amir Jangoo all scored centuries in the same innings. India captain Shubman Gill had won the toss and elected to bowl first at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium, but the decision quickly turned into a difficult afternoon for the Indian attack.

West Indies crossed 300 with only three wickets down, powered by three completely different hundred-making innings. At 40.1 overs, West Indies had reached 330/3, with Jangoo unbeaten on exactly 100. Campbell had earlier smashed 101 from 68 balls, while captain Hope made 104 from 94 deliveries before being dismissed.

Three West Indies Centuries Against India

Scorecard snapshot: West Indies 330/3 after 40.1 overs. The innings was still in progress. The extraordinary part of the innings was not simply that three West Indies batters reached three figures. Campbell provided the early explosion, Hope controlled the middle overs and Jangoo then accelerated strongly enough to bring up his own hundred before the 41st over was completed.

John Campbell Starts the Century Show

Campbell set the tone almost immediately after Keacy Carty was dismissed for nine. Instead of allowing India to build pressure with the early wicket, the left-hander attacked the Indian pace attack and raced to his half-century. He reached fifty in only 29 balls before completing his century from 65 deliveries. Campbell eventually departed for 101 from 68 balls, an innings featuring nine fours and five sixes. His hundred has been reported as the fifth-fastest ODI century by a West Indies batter.

Campbell was particularly aggressive against pace and ensured that West Indies maintained a high scoring rate despite losing Carty inside the first five overs. By the time he was dismissed at 147/2 in the 19th over, the visitors already had the platform for a massive total. His performance was also a huge improvement on his contribution in the opening ODI, where he had scored 62 from 60 balls.

Shai Hope Reaches a Major ODI Milestone

If Campbell supplied the early aggression, Shai Hope provided stability at the other end. The West Indies captain initially played at a more controlled tempo and reached his fifty from 51 deliveries. Once established, however, Hope began finding the boundary more regularly and went on to complete another ODI century.

Hope eventually made 104 from 94 balls, striking eight fours and three sixes. The century carried additional significance: it was Hope’s 20th ODI hundred, taking him past West Indies great Brian Lara, who finished his ODI career with 19 centuries. That landmark underlined Hope’s remarkable consistency in the 50-over format, but the circumstances of Wednesday’s innings made the achievement even more valuable. Campbell’s dismissal could have slowed West Indies down; instead, Hope ensured India never regained control.

Amir Jangoo Makes It Three

Then came Amir Jangoo. Jangoo had already made an unbeaten 58 in the opening ODI of the series, and he carried that form straight into Guwahati. Rather than simply supporting Hope, the left-hander progressively increased the scoring rate and began attacking India’s bowlers himself. Jangoo reached his fifty from 45 deliveries before accelerating sharply. He moved from 50 to 100 in only another 25 balls, completing his century from 70 deliveries.

At the 40.1-over mark, Jangoo was unbeaten on 100 from 70 balls, having struck 12 fours and two sixes. That meant Campbell, Hope and Jangoo had all reached three figures in the same West Indies innings—a remarkable batting display against an Indian attack that had dominated significant portions of the opening ODI.

India’s Decision to Bowl Backfires

India entered the match with a 1-0 lead in the three-match ODI series after winning the opener by eight wickets. Gill chose to field first in Guwahati, presumably looking to exploit any early assistance and then chase under lights. India did make an early breakthrough when Prasidh Krishna removed Carty for nine, but Campbell immediately changed the direction of the innings. India’s bowlers struggled to stop the boundaries after that.

Campbell attacked during the first phase, Hope absorbed pressure while keeping the scoreboard moving, and Jangoo’s acceleration ensured West Indies remained on course for a huge total. India had made one change for the match, with Auqib Nabi coming into the XI for Nitish Kumar Reddy.

IND vs WI Series Has Become a Century Festival

The remarkable batting in Guwahati continues a series already dominated by individual hundreds. In the first ODI in Thiruvananthapuram, Justin Greaves scored 101 for West Indies before India chased down 296 with centuries from Shubman Gill (110) and Virat Kohli (139)*. India won that match by eight wickets.

Now Campbell, Hope and Jangoo have added three more hundreds in the second ODI. That means the opening two matches of the India-West Indies ODI series have already produced six individual centuries:

*Jangoo’s score and the West Indies total above reflect the live-match position at 40.1 overs and should be updated when the innings ends.

From India’s point of view, the challenge now is very different from the opening ODI. Gill and Kohli made the first chase look comfortable, but West Indies’ three-century batting performance in Guwahati has put India under far greater pressure. The IND vs WI 2nd ODI has already delivered one of the standout batting stories of the series. Campbell’s explosive 65-ball hundred, Hope’s 20th ODI century and Jangoo’s rapid hundred combined to turn the West Indies innings into a three-century spectacle.

With the match still underway, the final West Indies total and India’s response will determine whether this extraordinary batting performance is converted into a series-levelling victory.

Update note: West Indies were 330/3 after 40.1 overs when this report was prepared. Final scores and the match result should be added after completion.

The three-century show in Guwahati has added another remarkable chapter to the ongoing West Indies vs India 2026 series, which includes three ODIs followed by five T20Is. Readers following how the rivalry is changing during this tour can also check the complete India vs West Indies stats and records and the format-wise India vs West Indies head-to-head record. With Campbell, Hope and Jangoo all reaching three figures in Guwahati, several ODI numbers from this rivalry will need another update once the second ODI is completed.

The individual performances also connect strongly with the wider story of this series. Shai Hope’s career stats are back in focus after another ODI hundred, while India’s first-match batting was driven by Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli, whose wider numbers can be followed through Shubman Gill stats and Virat Kohli stats.
