Perthe Thought The Father Was Chanderpaul’s Son
Perthe thought the father was Chanderpaul’s son 83.2 overs were played throughout the day. But the sweetest moment was born at five in the morning.
Jos Hazlewood’s good length ball is sent to third man by Tejnarayan Chanderpaul for the boundary. This four completes Tejnarayaran’s first fifty, bringing back memories of father Shivnarayanan Chanderpaul.
Shivnarayaan Chanderpaul also scored a fifty in his first Test innings in Australia in 1996. He scored 82 runs off 230 balls in that Brisbane match. This time his son Tejnarayan scored 78 balls in his debut match in Australia.
Another big similarity is going into batting after fielding for a long time. After 5 sessions of Australia’s batting at the Gabba, the West Indies were overwhelmed by Australia’s 479 runs. Tejanarayan also came down after 5 sessions of batting for Australia, with a burden of 598 runs on his head.
However, even though father Chanderpaul batted at number 5, Tejnarayan played in the opening. Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins and Nathan Lyons handled the new ball and the late afternoon of the second day and the morning of the third day. Starc and Lyon, however, also bowled against Shivnarine in 2012.

However, the West Indies are not in a good position at the end of the third day in Tejnarayan’s memorable match. After Australia’s 598 for 4, the Caribbean were all out for 298 in their first innings. After Tejnarayan’s 51 runs, Craig Braffett’s 64 runs is the team’s highest.
Cummins and Starc took 3 wickets each for Australia. Australian captain Cummins reached the 200th wicket milestone in his Test career on his way to taking 3 for 34.
Australia went into bat in the second innings with a lead of 315 runs in the first innings. Batting the last 11 overs of the day, the hosts scored 29 runs for 1 wicket after defeating Usman Khawaja. Australia lead by 344 runs after two innings.
