Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
His batting stance has been described as being 'crab-like' and ugly to watch; however, one cannot deny that Chanderpaul has been the sole anchor of a depleting West Indian batting unit.
Although known for his doggedness, Chanderpaul has the record for the 4th fastest Test century. He smashed a ton in just 67 balls against the visiting Australians in 2002. He also starred in West Indies' record chase of 418 over Australia in Antigua, scoring 104 runs. He was named the captain of the team to face the visiting South Africans in 2005 and celebrated it by becoming only the second player to make a double century on debut as a Test captain, scoring an unbeaten 200 in Guyana.
But Chanderpaul's tenure as skipper didn't yield good results, for him and the team. He relinquished the job in 2006 to concentrate on his batting. The move certainly seemed to help him, as he enjoyed tremendous success in the seasons that followed. In the 2007 tour to England, he averaged close to 150 with the bat. This included unbeaten tons in the third and fourth Tests. Though the series was lost, Chanderpaul's stellar show reduced the margin of defeats considerably.
Though his game is more suited to Test cricket, Chanderpaul enjoyed good success in ODIs as well. He made significant contributions in West Indies' successful campaign at the ICC Champions trophy in 2004. Despite being a middle order batsman, Chanderpaul opened in the Champions trophy in 2006 and enjoyed good success, helping West Indies reach the final of that edition.
His good show continued in 2008, when he amassed 442 runs in 3 Tests against Australia at home. His performances were recognized and rewarded, when he won the Wisden Cricketer of the Year and ICC player of the year awards for the year 2008.
His strength in the years that have followed is his ability to adjust himself to any situation, thus making the best use of his ability.One of the best examples of his longevity is the 2012 series against Australia in which he ran up scores of 103*, 12, 94, 68 and 69, for an aggregate of 346 in five innings. The 103* in the first innings at Kensington Oval saw him replacing Brian Lara as the highest run scorer ever at the ground. Also the scores of 68 and 69 at Roseau helped him becoming only the second West Indian after Brian Lara to score 10,000 Test runs. Later in 2012, he opted to play for the shortest format of the game, representing Uva Next in the inaugural Sri Lanka Premier League.
In November 2013, Chanderpaul played his 150th Test against India at Mumbai which also coincided with Sachin Tendulkar's 200th Test match. He remains 7th on the list of players that have made the most appearances in Tests.
He also held fort for West Indies amidst tricky conditions in New Zealand, compiling 256 runs including a ton and a fifty.
Interesting fact: In 1999, Chanderpaul shot a policeman with a gun after he mistook him for a burglar. However, he was not charged due to the mistake.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
The possessor of the crabbiest technique in world cricket, Shivnarine Chanderpaul proved there is life beyond the coaching handbook. He never seemed to play in the V, or off the front foot, but used soft hands, canny deflections, and a whiplash pull-shot to maintain a Test average of over 50. While the cricket world was obsessed with Brian Lara's unquestionable talent, Chanderpaul showed that there were alternate ways to be consistent and prolific in Test cricket over a long period of time, becoming only the second West Indian to score 10,000 Test runs.
When Chanderpaul started out, he had a couple of problems: first, a low conversion rate of around one hundred to every ten fifties, and secondly, his physical frailty, widely thought to be hypochondria. That myth was exploded when a large piece of floating bone was removed from his foot late in 2000, and, suitably liberated, he set about rectifying his hundreds problem, scoring three in four Tests against India in 2001-02, and two more in the home series against Australia the following year, including 104 as West Indies successfully chased a world-record 418 for victory in the final Test in Antigua.
Since then, he managed to keep his own standards at a remarkably high level despite the perennial problems that West Indies faced. On the few occasions that West Indies tasted success during his career, Chanderpaul's contributions were vital - in the Champions Trophy triumph in 2004, he contributed greatly with a consistent performances.
A stint as West Indies captain followed in 2005-06, and though he celebrated with a double-century in front of his home fans in Guyana, it was clear that captaincy was affecting his batting, and in 2006 he gave it up to concentrate on his main job.
Perhaps his greatest contribution, though, had been in holding together West Indies' fragile batting line-up after Lara's retirement. With a couple of other senior batsmen, Ramnaresh Sarwan and Chris Gayle, not being available due to various reasons, Chanderpaul's contributions were immense, as he has defied bowling attacks in all countries and all conditions, often with minimal support from the other end. One of the best examples of that was against Australia in 2012, in the series in which he got to 10,000 Test runs: he ran up scores of 103*, 12, 94, 68 and 69, for an aggregate of 346 in five innings. The second-highest aggregate for West Indies in the series was 186, which amply sums up Chanderpaul's Test career. He signed off from the game in January 2016, aged 41.
