Tagenarine Chanderpaul struggles in India tour
West Indies opener Tagenarine Chanderpaul faced a tough challenge during the ongoing Test series against India. On Saturday, October 4, 2025, he was dismissed for just 8 runs in the second innings of the first Test match held at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. This match is part of the West Indies tour of India, which includes two Test matches.
Chanderpaul had a difficult time in both innings. In the first innings, he was out for a duck (0 runs) after facing 11 balls. In the second innings, he managed to score 8 runs off 23 balls before falling to a brilliant catch by Indian all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy . The catch was taken during the morning session of Day 3, and it was one of the highlights of the match.
The dismissal happened when Indian fast bowler Mohammed Siraj bowled a short delivery aimed at Chanderpaul’s body. Chanderpaul tried to pull the ball but mistimed it. The ball flew towards square leg, where Nitish Reddy jumped and took a stunning catch. This moment gave India an early breakthrough and put pressure on the West Indies batting lineup.
Chanderpaul is the son of legendary West Indies batsman Shivnarine Chanderpaul. He made his Test debut in 2022 and has shown promise in previous matches. However, this series has been challenging for him. Indian bowlers have kept him under control with tight lines and smart field placements.
In the second Test, which started on Friday, October 10, 2025, Chanderpaul showed some improvement. He scored 13 runs off 22 balls before the tea break on Day 2 Cricbuzz. He looked more confident and tried to rotate the strike. But the West Indies team was still trailing by a large margin. India had declared their innings at 518/5, leaving West Indies with a mountain to climb.
Chanderpaul’s performance in India is being closely watched. Fans and experts hope he can bounce back in the remaining matches. He has the technique and temperament to succeed in Test cricket. But he needs to convert his starts into big scores.
The West Indies team is also under pressure. Their batting has not clicked in this series. Players like John Campbell and Alick Athanaze have struggled to build partnerships. The Indian bowlers, especially Ravindra Jadeja and Mohammed Siraj, have dominated the game.
Despite the setbacks, Chanderpaul remains a key player for the West Indies. His calm approach and solid defense can help anchor the innings. The team management is likely to give him more chances to prove himself.
In conclusion, Tagenarine Chanderpaul’s tour of India has been a mixed bag so far. He has faced tough conditions and strong bowling attacks. But with more experience and support, he can rise to the occasion. Cricket fans will be watching closely as the series continues.
