#2 565 vs West Indies, Kolkata, 1987

Greenidge was one of three West Indians to score a hundred

Trailing in the 4-match series 0-1, India conceded a massive 530 runs against West Indies at Kolkata. That was thanks to three centuries from the West Indian team scored by Gordon Greenidge, Gus Logie and Carl Hooper. West Indies declared their innings at 530/5 scoring very briskly (3.5 run-rate was fast in 1987).

In reply, India scored 565, thanks to Dilip Vengsarkar’s 102 retired hurt. Arun Lal scored 93, opening the innings, adding 56 with K Srikkanth, and then 96 with Mohinder Amarnath. India also managed to play out 172.2 overs in the process.

Against a good West Indian team, that was an impressive fightback under pressure. India went on to win the fourth Test thereby equalling the series and sharing the honours.
