2002 - Chanderpaul scores 3 centuries in 4 Tests against India in 2001-02 - West Indies win the series. Scores over 1000 runs in a calendar year for the 1st and only time in his career as he notches up 1065 runs in 22 innings @ 66.56 with 4 100s and 6 50s.

1997 - In Bridgetown v India, Chanderpaul enters in the 3rd over and remains unbeaten after nearly 7.5 hours, during which he strikes 12 fours and offers no chance. His 137 follows a sequence of 13 scores between 50 and 82 in his previous 18 Tests.

1996 - During the Australia tour, a 22-year-old Chanderpaul takes on the challenge of the No.3 spot as Lara labours against Glenn McGrath. He scores 50+ thrice, the most brilliant of which is a 68-ball 71, with 10 fours, in Sydney before being conquered by an outrageous delivery from Shane Warne.

1994 - In his 4th Test, after hitting 77 the game before, Chanderpaul scores an unbeaten 75, matching Brian Lara at times - in one period, while Lara scores 31 with 4 fours, Chanderpaul makes 28 with 5. But then he settles down and plays a key role in partnering Lara to his first world Test record of 375.

1994 - Five months short of 20, Chanderpaul makes his international debut, as much for his leg breaks as his left-hand batting, against England in Georgetown, and scores a half-century.

West Indies go into the match with only one survivor, Chanderpaul, from their last Test, at The Oval in August 2004, and the loss of Lara and the six players directly involved in the contractual dispute appears to rule the rump West Indian team out of contention. Batting with the pressure of captaincy, Chanderpaul faces 369 balls, bats 509 minutes and hits 23 fours scoring 203*.

2003 - Having plundered the 3rd fastest Test century - off 69 balls - on his home ground against Australia, Chanderpaul closes off the series with another ton that helps West Indies reach a world record target of 418 in Antigua and avoid the humiliation of a series whitewash
