Overview:-
- Lara might be the only man to reach 400 in a Test match, and the only man to pass 500 in first-class cricket. Yet I won’t class either of them as his best innings.
- Brian Lara bowed out of the game as one of the all-time greats.
- His career had its highs and lows, but he has always weathered the storm and came out a better player.
- His world record score of 400 not out in 2004 against England will forever be etched in the memories of cricket lovers around the world.
- Everyone knew he can bat for long period and doing so at the highest level is what Lara thrived on ever since he played First-Class cricket.
- His unbeaten 501 bares testimony to his temperament and his skills inculcated in him ever since he was a young boy, dreaming of representing his country at some point.
