Ravindra Jadeja finally handed India the much-awaited breakthrough with the dismissal of West Indies opener John Campbell; however, what shocked the Indian players was that umpire Paul Reiffel stopped for too long before being almost compelled to raise his fingers in front of the desperate appeal from the Indian players.
While Indians have dominated the West Indies throughout the series, this was the first time that the West Indies batting pair seemed to have had the upper hand over the Indian bowlers.
After having put on a follow-on by the Indians, the Windies batters John Campbell and Shai Hope stitched a massive partnership to lead the Windies to a respectable total on Day 3, and continued the same for nearly one hour of the morning session on Day 4.
Umpire Paul Reiffel leaves the Indian players stunned over the delay to declare John Campbell out
After the massive 150+ run partnership between the two West Indian batters and John Campbell, hitting his maiden Test century at Delhi, veteran spinner Ravindra Jadeja finally drew the first blood of the morning for India.
The spinner, who initiated proceedings alongside Jasprit Bumrah, bowled a flat-arm ball to Campbell that pitched on the middle stump and hit the batter's front pads plumb in front of the wickets as he attempted a reverse sweep. After being saved previously off the bowling of Jasprit Bumrah by DRS, nothing could change his fate this time.
The centurion departed, but before that, in a bizarre feat, umpire Paul Reiffel thought for ages on a dismissal that looked absolutely plumb. He was almost compelled by Jadeja and the Indian players with a desperate appeal that led him to raise his fingers.
