Guyanese batting legend renowned for an unorthodox but highly effective technique, incredible powers of concentration and extraordinary longevity — one of the hardest batsmen in history to dismiss.
Shivnarine Chanderpaul was one of cricket's most idiosyncratic yet effective batsmen, a Guyanese left-hander with an unorthodox stance who was almost impossible to dismiss. He scored 11,867 Test runs with extraordinary determination and concentration, often carrying the West Indian batting on his own during difficult periods. His consistency and mental strength made him one of the great accumulators of runs in Test cricket.
