10 legends who retired without a farewell
The final pages for some of the cricketers are ripped off due to the various reasons and which took away the sheens of beautiful stories.
6. Shivnarine Chanderpaul – West Indies
The most underrated player in the history of the game has to be the West Indies legend, Shivnarine Chanderpaul. The short-statured cricketer defied all the odds and had a successful sojourn spanning over two decades. With his steely determination, he accumulated runs against the best of the opposition. Chanderpaul was the knight in shining armour when the side was going through a transition.
He always gave his 100% on the field but the cricketing gods never favoured him. In the classical format, Chanderpaul is the player who has scored the maximum amount of runs (5,370 runs which include 9 centuries) when the team ended up on the losing side. The left-hander is the highest run-getter in Tests while batting at the No.6 position. After going through a bad patch where he didn’t score a half-century in 6 innings, the selectors ignored him for future ties without expressing any gratitude for his lifelong efforts.
