Brian Lara, a former West Indies batter, is considered one of the all-time great batters.
Two enduring records in Test cricket remain to be held by Brian Lara, even after his retirement. With his 400-run innings against England in 2004, Lara achieved the greatest individual score in the history of Test cricket.
Additionally, he went on to record the greatest individual score in the format in 1994 when he achieved an undefeated 501 in a first-class match. Lara has just come forward to discuss these records as well as others. According to his opinion, people like Gordon Greenidge and Desmond Haynes should have eclipsed Gary Sobers’ 365.
Furthermore, he identified Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal as the two Indian hitters who, in the right circumstances, had the ability to surpass his red-ball records.
“Gordon Greenidge and Viv Richards’ aggression in the 1970s and 1980s left me rather perplexed as to why Sir Garfield Sobers’ record remained unbroken. Inzamam-ul-Haq, Sanath Jayasuriya, Chris Gayle, and Virender Sehwag were among the players in my era who either challenged or beyond the 300 mark, according to Brian Lara, who spoke to the Daily Mail.
They were players who were quite aggressive. How many of the players you have playing today are aggressive? in the England squad in particular. Both Harry Brook and Zak Crawley. Perhaps in the Indian squad? Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal. He continued, “The records could be broken, both of them, if they discover the perfect circumstances.

Remarkably, David Warner became the most recent player in Test cricket history to record a triple century when he played Pakistan at the Adelaide Oval in 2019. Although Warner had a chance to break Lara’s record, Tim Paine called the innings with the seasoned hitter with 335 runs scored.
