3. Brian Lara (400)
Brian Charles Lara is next in the list with a world record with the big 400 against England in 2004. The legendary batsman on his favourite ground at ST. Johns in Antigua became the first man to score 400 in international cricket. The gifted southpaw was at his best in that innings as he scored at every possible part of the ground. His play in that innings especially against spinners was breath-taking as he made history.
The knock is still a world record and a mountain that no other batsman has been able to scale yet. Lara usually batted at 4 but in that innings, he came at 3 and broke Hayden’s record of 380 runs in just one year. Lara during his knock hits 43 fours and 4 sixes as the West Indies put a total of 751 runs on the board.
