India's victory - Will history be able to repeat itself?

Team india led by rohit sharma has gone on west indies tour at this time. A series of 2 Tests will be played between the two countries. The first Test will be played in dominica from 12 July. Earlier in 2011, when the indian team went to the west indies, india had played a Test here. After this, india is going to play the second Test here. Team India's hands were left empty after reaching victory in dominica 12 years ago. At that time, former west indies veteran batsman Shivnarine Chanderpaul had become an obstacle between india and victory. He then scored a century in the second innings of dominica Test and deprived india of victory. This time also his son Tegnarayan is in the west indies team, who can become a hindrance for Team India.

TegnarayanChanderpaul has been selected in the west indies squad for the Test series against india and there is every possibility of him playing in the dominica Test. Tegnarayan made his Test debut against australia in december last year. He has so far scored 453 runs in 6 Tests with the help of 1 century and a half-century. Tegnarayan converted his very first century into a double century. He had scored 207 runs against Zimbabwe. His father Shivnarine also scored a double century in the Test.
