Former West Indies captain Brian Lara still holds the record for highest individual score in a Test cricket match. The left-handed batsman is the only player to reach 400-mark in the longest format in a single innings of a Test match. As reported by news agency ANI, Lara was recently questioned by the reporters if he believes any player can surpass his record, on the sidelines of the announcement of first-ever Samarthanam Women’s National cricket tournament for Blind.

In his reply, the former Windies international said: “Attacking players are the ones who are best suited to break a record. Players like Virat Kohli with the way he scores, Rohit Sharma on his day or day an a half could definitely break the record.”

Australian’s David Warner recently hammered an unbeaten 335 against Pakistan but was stopped on course to break Lara’s record, with skipper Tim Paine deciding to declare the innings. “I had a chat with him, he said it was not up to him.

It was the team’s decision. He looked destined to do it but there was a possibility of rain too,” Lara said.The 50-year-old further talked about how India can go on to win an ICC trophy, which has eluded them in the last few years. “You have one of the best sides. Everybody is lining you up. It’s like fait accompli India are going to make the semis or the knockouts. So everybody is gearing up for that match. You look at the way New Zealand played against India. They knew who to target. India have to appreciate that the invincibility of West Indies in 1975 and 1979 and Australia (in 1999, 2003, 2007) was because they ticked all the boxes,” he said.
