Teenaged batting sensation Kraigg Brathwaite has revealed that he fashions his approach off top West Indies middle-order batsman Shivnarine Chanderpaul.

Brathwaite, 17, boasts an impressive 83.75 average for the West Indies at the ICC Under-19 World Cup in New Zealand after four half-centuries in five matches.

“I have modelled my game on West Indies top order bat, Shivnarine Chanderpaul. I keep my eyes on the ball and limit high-risk strokes”, he said, much like the left-handed Chanderpaul, the 2008 ICC Cricketer of the Year.
