Brian the king of Cricket: The unbeaten Knock of 400

If we start the search in the history of more than 140 years of cricket, the names of the legends that will come first are Don Bradman, Viv Richards, Brian Lara, Sachin Tendulkar, Ricky Ponting, Kumar Sangakkara, Rahul Dravid, Sourav Ganguly, Mahela Jayawardene, Jacques Kallis, and others. However, in this shortlist, there is a legend, who is totally different from these legends in one respect.

He is the only batsman in the world, the great son of cricket Brian Lara, who had scored 400 runs in a single innings. He also holds the record for the highest individual run in first-class Cricket (501 not out).

He is the protagonist of cricket, especially in Test cricket, watching his batting make the spectators captivates. Drive, sweep, lofted shots everything was included in his stylish batting. The Caribbean legend has always proved himself the best in white-clad cricket. That is why he regained the record of his highest individual run innings after 10 years. He holds the record for the first time in history and is the only batsman to have scored 400 runs in an innings.

In 1958, West Indies great Sir Garry Sobers became the highest run-scorer in an innings with 365 runs in a Test against Pakistan at Kingston. After 36 years later in 1994, Brian Lara broke Sobers' record of 365 against England by scoring 375 runs knock at St. John's. But nine years later, Australia's Matthew Hayden set the record with 380 in the Perth Test against Zimbabwe.

Six months later in 2004, Lara regained the record of the highest individual run by scoring an unbeaten 400 against England. The West Indies lost three home matches against England in 2004. The question about Lara's captaincy was raising.

West Indies can't afford any loss if they want to avoid the whitewash. Lara played unbelievable innings of four hundred runs. However, the West Indies could not win that match. But they avoid the whitewash because of Brian Lara's Historical knock.

Before that match, Lara was not going in a good form. He had scored 100 runs in the previous three Tests. So there were questions about his form. However, he introduced himself anew in this match.

West Indies won the toss and elected to bat. Chris Gayle gave the team a good start in the beginning. Lara came to the crease after Gayle was out. Lara was unbeaten on 6 runs at the end of the first day and West Indies was able to collect 206 runs for 2 wickets.

Lara scored his triple century on the second day. West Indies were 595 for five. On the third day, Lara completed 400 individual runs. West Indies declared the innings with 751 runs for 7 wickets. He hit 43 fours and 4 sixes in his innings. Here is the scoreboard of that innings.

West Indies can leave the field with a draw in that Test for the sake of Lara. Till now 16 years had passed and his record is still intact.

This record will be intact Because

As ICC announced that the test world cup going to be organized next where the top 4 rank country can participate. So all the team will try to win the match. That's why the opportunity of playing long will be less.

THANK YOU!
