Roseau – Indian off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin achieved a rare and remarkable feat during the first Test against the West Indies. Ashwin added a unique distinction to his illustrious Test career by dismissing Tagenarine Chanderpaul, the son of former West Indian batsman Shivnarine Chanderpaul. This marked the second occasion in which Ashwin has dismissed both father and son in Test cricket, further solidifying his status as one of the game’s premier bowlers.
Ashwin, who made his Test debut in 2011 in New Delhi, had previously dismissed Shivnarine Chanderpaul during his maiden appearance in the longest format of the game. The off-spinner trapped Chanderpaul senior plumb in front during the second innings of the Test match, which occurred 12 years ago.
