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.

Football Chief Jaswar Umar Enters Race for NOC Presidency
Jaswar Umar, President of the Football Federation of Sri Lanka, has officially submitted his nomination to contest for the presidency of the National Olympic Committee of Sri Lanka at the upcoming Annual General Meeting.
Umar becomes the fourth candidate in the race, joining Shirantha Peiris, Deva Henry, and Asanga Seneviratne, who are also contesting for the top position in the country’s Olympic body.
His time as football chief has created divided opinions among sports professionals who evaluate his performance. On one hand, Sri Lanka’s national team has shown improvement in international results, including a rise in the FIFA rankings from 204 to 191, along with notable performances against stronger opposition.
However, his approach has also faced criticism. Stakeholders have raised concerns over the increased reliance on Sri Lankan-origin overseas players, with claims that it has limited opportunities for local talent. The long-term vision for developing youth and building grassroots football programs has become a subject of public inquiry.
Umar now aims to advance his career through NOC while he leads Sri Lankan football with both positive results and ongoing public criticism of his work.
The upcoming election will become a competitive battle because four candidates will vie for control of a key position which holds major power within the country’s sports system.
