Brian Lara names two Indian cricketers who can break his record of 400 runs

West Indies batting legend Brian Lara has named two Indian cricketers who can shatter is record of 400 runs in the single innings of a Test match.

“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," he added.

Recently, Australia’s David Warner had played an unbeaten innings of 335 runs against Pakistan and was likely to shatter Lara’s individual score of 400. But unfortunately Australian skipper Tim Paine decided 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," said Lara.

He told these things on the sidelines of the announcement of first ever Samarthanam Women’s National cricket tournament for blind.

Cricket Association for Blind in India (CABI) has taken initiative to hold Blind Cricket National for Women in corporation with Samarthanam Trust for the Disables.

The tournament will take place in T20 format, starting 16th December in New Delhi.

"Disability should not be considered a hindrance to achieving one's goals. I thoroughly appreciate this fantastic initiative taken by CABI and Samarthanam Trust in India and I am convinced that if such strong stakeholders come together around the world, then there is no reason why blind cricket will not see a growth world over," said Lara.

"Such competitions will also provide a platform to such talented women and empower them," he added.
