Former captain of West Indies cricket team of Indian descent Shivnarine Chanderpaul is considered as one of the greatest batsmen of his era and was the first Indo-Caribbean to represent the Caribbean team in 100 games in the purest format of the game. While Shivnarine was one of the greatest Test batsmen, he couldn’t weave the same magic in the shortest format of the game.

The West Indian left-hander has played 22 T20Is between 2006 and 2010 and made 343 runs but had a strike-rate of just 98.85. He also tried his luck in the inaugural edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) and managed to bag a contract from the IPL franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).

The veteran featured in just three games for the Bangalore outfit in the entire tournament in 2008 scoring just 25 runs in three innings at an average and strike-rate of 8.3 and 80.60 respectively. Those games didn’t come together and were scattered across the entire tournament. That was his last outing in the T20 Extravaganza.
