Brian Lara

Brian Charles Lara (born 2 May 1969) is a former international cricketer from Trinidad and Tobago who is largely regarded as one of the greatest batsman of all time. He has held various cricketing records, including the record for the greatest individual score in first-class cricket, with 501 not out for Warwickshire against Durham at Edgbaston in 1994[6], which is the only quintuple-hundred in first-class cricket history.

Lara also holds the record for the greatest individual score in a Test innings, with 400 not out in the fourth test against England in Antigua in 2004. Lara also shares the record for most runs scored in a single over in a Test match with Robin Peterson of South Africa, who hit 28 runs off an over in 2003 (tied in 2013 by Australia's George Bailey and in 2020 by South Africa's Keshav Maharaj).
