Campbell Rewrites West Indies Record Books
Campbell reached his century in only 65 balls, registering the fastest ODI hundred by a West Indies batter against India. He surpassed Ricardo Powell’s previous record of a 72-ball century, set in 1999. The left-hander’s blistering effort also put him among the fastest century-makers in West Indies ODI history.
The opener’s assault began almost immediately, as he put pressure on India’s bowling attack with a combination of powerful drives and calculated big hits. He brought up his half-century in only 29 balls, setting another record in the process. Campbell’s 29-ball fifty became the fastest by a West Indies batter against India in ODIs, moving past Chris Gayle’s previous mark of 30 balls.
