In the second Test match against Zimbabwe, South African captain Vian Mulder had a great chance to break Brian Lara’s record of 400 runs but decided not to do so in honor of Lara. In such a situation, now the question arises that apart from the Mulder, which are the players who have the ability to break this record of Lara.
After seeing this memorable innings of Mulder, former England captain Michael Atherton reminded Lara’s prediction in which Lara said that Yashasvi Jaiswal and Harry Brook could cross their 400 runs in Test cricket. This historical achievement of Lara came two decades ago and so far no player has broken this record.
Etharton said on Sky Sports Podcast, “I spoke to Brian Lara on his first record -breaking innings, on the eve of his 375 -run innings, and I said if you expect someone to break it? He said that due to the pace on which the modern players score, someone will definitely break it. It seemed that he might try to do so. “
If we talk about Jaiswal, the young Indian batsman has scored two double centuries at the beginning of his international career. Similarly, Brook made headlines by scoring 317 runs in the first Test against Pakistan in 2024. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see whether in the coming time, whether any of these two players can break Lara’s record or not.
