Narsingh Deonarine (born 16 August 1983)[1] is a Guyanese cricketer, who has played for the West Indies.

Domestic and franchise career

He is a left-handed batsman who bowls a right-arm

cover point exist between Deonarine and his team-mate Shivnarine Chanderpaul—a man who Deonarine has clearly modelled his game on.[citation needed
]

Narsingh's claim to fame came on 13 August 2006 at the Stanford 20/20 finals which saw Guyana vs. Trinidad in a classic million dollar match. After Trinidad put up a formidable 176 runs, Guyana answered back with 171 with 2 balls remaining. Narsingh was at the striker's end with Ramnaresh Sarwan at the bowlers end. Narsingh hit a 6 to win it for Guyana, capping one of the most exciting comebacks in the history of 20 over cricket. He was later rewarded with the Play of the Match award for his million dollar 6, and a hefty cheque of $25,000.[citation needed]

In June 2021, he was selected to take part in the Minor League Cricket tournament in the United States following the players' draft.[2]

International career

He returned to the West Indies Test team for the Third Test against

Australia at Perth on 16 December 2009 after both Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Adrian Barath
were ruled out due to injury. Deonarine promptly claimed his best bowling in Tests with 2/72. He also made his first Test 50 and finished up with 82, his highest Test score.

On 15 November 2013, Narsingh claimed the wicket of Sachin Tendulkar, who was playing his final innings in his 200th Test match prior to retiring from all forms of cricket.[3]

In January 2021, USA Cricket named Deonarine in a 44-man squad to begin training in Texas ahead of the 2021 Oman Tri-Nation Series.[4][5]
