Carl Hooper and Shivnarine Chanderpaul thrilled the Guyanese crowd with a massive 293-run partnership, while Rahul Dravid’s courageous century helped India avoid the follow-on in a gripping Test match. After West Indies slipped to 44 for 3, Carl Hooper and Ramnaresh Sarwan rebuilt the innings before Shivnarine Chanderpaul joined his captain for a historic stand. Hooper played one of the greatest innings of his career, scoring a majestic 233 with elegance and authority, while Chanderpaul hammered his highest Test score at the time. India responded through Sachin Tendulkar, who attacked aggressively early on with boundaries all around the ground, before VVS Laxman and Rahul Dravid steadied the innings. On the fourth morning, India were in danger of following on, but Dravid battled through pain after being struck on the helmet and completed a heroic century. With Sarandeep Singh supporting him calmly, Dravid guided India to safety before rain washed out the final stages of the match. 🏏 Match Highlights: • Carl Hooper’s magnificent 233 • Shivnarine Chanderpaul’s marathon innings • 293-run partnership for West Indies • Rahul Dravid’s courageous century under pressure • Sachin Tendulkar’s attacking 71 • VVS Laxman’s stylish batting • India avoid follow-on drama • Rain forces a draw at Georgetown 📅 Match Details: India vs West Indies 1st Test, Georgetown April 11-15, 2002 Bourda, Guyana #indvswi #cricketmax #highlights #testseries #indiavswestindies #cricket
