We investigate the possibility of phantom crossing in the dark energy sector and solution for the Hubble tension between early and late universe observations. We use robust combinations of different cosmological observations, namely the CMB, local measurement of Hubble constant (H0), BAO and SnIa for this purpose. For a combination of CMB+BAO data which is related to early Universe physics, phantom crossing in the dark energy sector is confirmed at 95% confidence level and we obtain the constraint H0=71.0+2.9-3.8 km/s/Mpc at 68% confidence level which is in perfect agreement with the local measurement by Riess et al. We show that constraints from different combination of data are consistent with each other and all of them are consistent with phantom crossing in the dark energy sector. For the combination of all data considered, we obtain the constraint H0=70.25± 0.78 km/s/Mpc at 68% confidence level and the phantom crossing happening at the scale factor am=0.851+0.048-0.031 at 68% confidence level.
