Recently the Cricket Match is going between India and West Indies in West Indies, and there is that West Indian player called Shivnarine Chanderpaul. Can someone please tell me that whenever he comes to bat he has something below his eyes, something like a black bandaid. What is that?

There seems to be some disagreement over whether it really works or not...but, the "black stuff" is put under the eyes to reduce the glare off of the cheeks.

It is called EYE BLACK.
Eye black is a grease applied under the eyes to reduce glare. It is often used by baseball and American football players, where sunlight or stadium lights can impair vision of an airborne ball. Traditional grease consists of beeswax, paraffin, and carbon.[1] Patented antiglare stickers that emulate the grease are also manufactured, sometimes with a sports team logo printed on.
