Shivanarayan Chandrapaul, the former captain of the West Indies, has also played in a similar manner. This particular style of play by the Indian batsmen poses a challenge for the bowlers of the opposing team. Now, Shivanarayan’s son, Tagenerine Chandrapaul, is making his mark as a bowler for the West Indies team.
