Tagenerin Chandrapaul’s innings, which scored 207 runs off 467 balls, consisted of 16 fours and 3 sixes.

West Indies cricketer Tagnarin Chandrapaul made history on Monday by scoring his maiden Test century in the first match against Zimbabwe. Tagenerin reached the three-figure mark on Day 3 of the tournament in Bulawayo. The 26-year-old didn’t stop there, converting his unbeaten century into an unbeaten double-century as West Indies’ first innings score of 447/6 was decided to end the innings. With the double century, Tagenerin became the second father-son duo to score a double century in Test cricket, joining his father Shivanarin Chandrapaul.

Tagenerin’s innings featured 16 fours and 3 sixes as he scored 207 runs off 467 balls and finished with a strike rate of 44.32. No other father-son duo has scored double centuries in Test cricket. Shivnarine has scored two double centuries in the Test format. One each against South Africa and Bangladesh. He finished with an unbeaten 203 on both occasions. He has a total of 30 Test centuries to his name, including his maiden century against India in 1997.

Tagenerin has also added his name to the elite list of father-son duos who have scored centuries in Test cricket. Tagenarine has only played two matches in his short career against the Zimbabwe team he is currently with. He has scored 160 runs including one half-century at an average of 40.00. In 53 first-class matches he has played, he has scored 3004 runs with 6 centuries and 12 half-centuries at an average of 35.76.

Pathirage Rewrites Record Books with Historic 92.62m Throw in Rome

Sri Lankan javelin sensation Rumesh Pathirage produced the performance of a lifetime at the Rome Diamond League, launching the spear an astonishing 92.62 metres to become the second-best javelin thrower in Asian history and move to eighth place on the world all-time rankings.

The 23-year-old delivered the remarkable throw with his second attempt in the men’s javelin competition, sending shockwaves through the athletics world and cementing his place among the sport’s elite.

Pathirage’s record-breaking effort not only shattered his previous personal best but also established a new Sri Lankan national record and the world-leading mark for the 2026 season.
Adding to the significance of the achievement, the Sri Lankan star eclipsed the long-standing Rome Diamond League meet record of 90.34 metres, which had stood for two decades and was set by Olympic champion Andreas Thorkildsen.

The historic throw marks a major milestone for Sri Lankan athletics, with Pathirage becoming the first athlete from the island nation to surpass the coveted 90-metre barrier in international competition.

His performance places him among the greatest javelin throwers of all time and further strengthens his credentials as a leading contender for major global championships in the years ahead.

All-round Sri Lanka overwhelm West Indies

Published

By

Sri Lanka produced a clinical display with both bat and ball to defeat West Indies by 41 runs in the first match of the three match ODI series worked off at Kingston on Wednesday.

After being asked to bat, Sri Lanka posted a challenging 303 for 7 from their allotted 50 overs, thanks largely to impressive contributions from Pathum Nissanka and captain Kusal Mendis. Nissanka played the anchor role with a composed 79 off 103 deliveries, striking nine boundaries and a six, while Kusal accelerated the scoring with a fluent 72 from 62 balls, featuring four fours and four sixes.

The pair guided Sri Lanka out of early trouble after Kamindu Mendis fell cheaply. Pavan Rathnayake contributed 24, while Charith Asalanka added a useful 45 to keep the innings on track. Janith Liyanage then provided the finishing touches with a brisk unbeaten 44 from 29 balls as the visitors crossed the 300-run mark. Roston Chase, Matthew Forde and Jayden Seales claimed two wickets each for the hosts.

West Indies made a promising start to their chase, reaching 73 for 2 inside the first 10 overs. Justin Greaves struck 45 and skipper Shai Hope battled for 56, but Sri Lanka’s bowlers repeatedly struck at crucial moments to halt the momentum.

The turning point came through Dushmantha Chameera, whose pace and accuracy troubled the West Indian middle order. The fast bowler claimed four wickets, including the prized scalp of Hope, to finish with 4 for 67. Spinner Maheesh Theekshana played an equally important role, conceding just 26 runs in his ten overs while taking two wickets.

Wanindu Hasaranga dismissed Sherfane Rutherford at a key stage, while Asitha Fernando and Charith Asalanka also entered the wicket column. Despite late resistance from Shamar Joseph, West Indies were bowled out for 262 in 49.2 overs.
