Top 5 run-scorers in Tests between New Zealand and West Indies

#2 Shivnarine Chanderpaul - 1232 runs

Chanderpaul played the sheet anchor role for the vast majority of his career

With a whopping 11867 runs, Shivnarine Chanderpaul lies second on the list of all-time leading run-scorers in West Indies' extensive and illustrious Test history. As many as 1232 of those runs came against the Kiwis. In fact, no cricketer has participated in more Test matches between New Zealand and West Indies than the left-hander's collection of 21 appearances. An average of 45.62 and ten fifty-plus scores allude to his admirable consistency.

Considering that he had to shoulder the burden of a declining batting lineup, Chanderpaul managed to taste the elixir of victory on only five occasions against New Zealand. His slew of fifty-plus knocks enabled West Indies to register identical 1-0 home and away series triumphs between 1995 and 1996. However, his team had to wait until 2012 to notch their next match as well as series victory against the Blackcaps.
