In November 2000, Alistair Campbell produced one of the most courageous innings in Zimbabwe’s Test history. After being forced to follow on in the 2nd Test at Nagpur, Campbell scored a magnificent 102 off 186 balls in 253 minutes, guiding his team from 3 for 61 to safety.

Partnering with Andy Flower, he built a rock-solid 209-run stand, frustrating the Indian bowlers and saving the match for Zimbabwe. Despite India taking the series 1–0, this draw felt like a moral victory for the visitors.

Watch the highlights and relive Campbell’s maiden Test century — a story of patience, class, and fighting spirit on Indian soil.
