There are many kinds of interesting sports in the world today, and cricket is among them. Past heroes have set a lot of records, other players have broken records, and more players keep setting new records.

Today, we will look into a talented batsman who equaled records, broke them, and also set new ones. This person we are going to talk about is popularly known as Brian Lara Charles, and he was given birth to on the 2nd of May in 1996 at Santa Cruz

When you sit down and begin to think about all his Test scores, what you will come to observe is that he is a player that is thirsty for more runs. Let us travel back to 1994 and discuss his playing career.

Early in 1994, Brian scored 375 which is an impressive run, and this marked the beginning of his record-breaking career as he equaled and broke the record that Sober Gary had set. It was claimed by a lot of people that Brian had an accidentally great performance, but he proved them all wrong as he was undefeatable, scoring 501 when he played a first-class match for Warwickshire in the next season.

In the year 2004, he set the record of becoming the first-ever batsman in history by scoring 400 against England, making him have the highest individual Test score record as he broke the record of Hayden who scored 380.

Brian’s innings can be represented by the quick movement of The Flash as he becomes the first batsman in the history of cricket who have tackled Murali so hard and scored about 600 runs when he featured in the match that was played at Sri Lanka.

There were times when it feels like Brian is not supposed to be a batsman. Because of that, a person can easily conclude that Lara is no longer interested in playing cricket.

Brian Lara had 53 as his all-time Test average which is almost the same as when he scored 51 against Aussie and having just 41 when he battled NZ.

So, Brian Lara incidentally becomes the second cricket player who scored close to 10,500 runs since when Sachin Tendulkar had set the record.

Although he has retired, his wonderful record still lives on. Brian is still being recognized as a batsman whose Test average is more, compared to the first-class match he played.
