Brian Lara:
Brian Lara has always been a better player of his era. He was just such a joy to watch. His offside play against quick bowlers and use of his feet and wrist against spin was mesmerising to watch. And his every famous inning have been from a tough situation.
He was versatile and also have played match-winning knocks in many instances. A successful captain of his time. Despite having large numbers in his kitty, Brian Lara never bagged a world cup for his country. Lara never got the right kind of support during the big event of the game.
The stylish batsman scored 1225 runs in the 34 World Cup matches at an average of 42.24.
