Veteran players say, 2 Indian players can break Brian Lara's record

Brian Lara is the batsman who has scored the most runs in an innings of Test cricket. The former West Indies batsman played an innings of 400* runs against England on 10 April 2004. More than 20 years have passed since this record was made. Many batsmen came close to Lara's record, but no one could break it. Now Lara is confident of 4 young batsmen including Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal who can break his record of 400* runs.

Lara has faith in these players

Lara included Gill and Jaiswal, apart from England's Jack Crowley and Harry Brook in the list of 4 players. Talking to The Daily Mail, Lara said, “In my time there were players who challenged or at least crossed the 300-run mark – Virender Sehwag, Gayle, Inzamam-ul-Haq, Sanath Jayasuriya. They were very aggressive players.”

Talking about the 4 players, Lara further said, “How many aggressive players do we have today? Especially Jack Crowley and Harry Brook in the England team and Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill in the Indian team. If they get good conditions, they can break this record.

Jaiswal scored 2 double centuries in Tests

Let us tell you that Yashasvi Jaiswal has played 9 Tests so far, in which he has shown quite explosive batting. In 16 innings of 9 matches, Jaiswal has scored 1028 runs at an average of 68.53, which includes 3 centuries including 2 doubles. Jaiswal's highest score is 214* runs. The Indian opener has scored both double centuries against England. In such a situation, Jaiswal seems to be a strong contender to break the record of the legendary West Indies player. Yashasvi made his Test debut against West Indies and scored 171 runs in the first innings of the first match.
