In what was yet another stunning run-chase in a Test match by an away team in 2021, West Indies created history with a stunning batting performance against Bangladesh on Sunday.
Much like India in Brisbane, a depleted visiting side found unlikely, inexperienced heroes to take them past the finish line. Man of the moment was a debutant, Kyle Mayers. And Mayers is determined not to become a one-hit wonder after a double century on Test debut guided West Indies to an improbable win and arguably one of their greatest of all time.
