3. Brian Lara:
Certainly, Brian Lara is one of the fantastic batsmen of his era. A legend, who inspired Windies youngsters to pick up the bat. Lara will be in the same bracket of a few legendary players in the world cricket. But, unfortunately, he also finds a place in the chart. One of the reasons is because of his epic 400-run knock in Test matches.
Brian Lara had completed 300 in 404 balls. For the next 100 runs, he took 178 balls. At the end of 2 days, Windies were 595/5 in 157 overs. They declared at 757 in 202 overs. 162 runs made in 45 overs. As the innings killed a time in the game, the bowlers couldn’t able to rip the opposition in stipulated time.
