Brian Lara names two Indian batsmen who can break his record of highest Test knock of 400 | Cricket News – Times of India

Brian Lara was one of the most feared batsmen of his time and on multiple occasions carried the West Indies team on his shoulders, both with the bat as well as a skipper. Among the mountain of runs he scored in his storied career is the knock that still stands as the world record for most runs scored by a batsman in a single Test innings. The West Indies legend scored a mammoth 400 not out against England in 2004 at the Antigua Recreation Ground in St John's -- a record that looks unbreakable, just like Sachin Tendulkar's 100 international centuries. Lara first broke the record when he went past Gary Sobers' 365 in 1994 to set the mark at 375, which was breached a decade later by Australia great Matthew Hayden, who pushed it up to 380. But Lara rewrote it in his name just a few months l...

Next-gen XI | Youngistan

Team India’s 13-year-long dry spell at World Cup tournaments was broken in the early hours of June 30. Amidst the jubilation came the news of Rohit Sharma, 37, and Virat Kohli, 35, signing off from T20Is. A day later, Ravindra Jadeja joined them. With the loss of two talismanic batters, questions arose as to who takes the baton from them. Team India has two years to find the balance of power and precision when they defend the title on home turf.
