Lara’s style would mesmerize not only common spectators but professional cricket players also. Breaking records and appetite for a humongous score was Lara’s bread and butter. Background The 10th child of 11 siblings, Lara was taught cricket at the Harvard Coaching Clinic from the age of six. He used to play for Trinidad's junior football and table tennis side, but cricket was his true love. At just the age of 14, Brian made 745 runs at 126.6, which got him selected for the Trinidad’s Under-16 team. A year later, he was in Indies Under-19 side. In the year 1990, Lara was the youngest captain of Trinidad and Tobago. He lead them to victory in the Geddes Grant Shield. Debut Lara made his test debut, scoring 44 and 6 against Pakistan. He had already made his ODI debut scoring 11 against Pakistan a month earlier. Rise To Glory Lara showed his class in January 1993 by scoring 277 against Australia in Sydney. His century was a turning point of t...

If the player has multiple entries in the top ten in any individual record list, one entry from that list is displayed, as selected by an algorithm, under Top records. In the categories outside of the Top records module, placements within the top 50 in any given record list are displayed. Medallion icon indicates milestone records.

Brian Lara – Record-breaking batsman who put Trinidad and Tobago on the map Wednesday 31 August 2022 File photo: TT cricketers celebrate their victory over Jamaica at one of the cricket matches held in celebration of TT's 50th Independence Anniversary, team Brian TT vs Jamaica held at the Queen's Park Oval on August 26, 2012. - FILE PHOTO BRIAN Lara, the Trinidad and Tobago and West Indies batting hero, has given this country much to celebrate. From his stylish way of batting, match-winning performances and record-breaking innings, there's no doubt that Lara is one of TT’s sporting icons. Lara, 53, had an appetite for batting and batting long. The former West Indies captain would stay at the crease for hours and it led to achievements that few sportsmen could dream of. Lara, who grew up in Santa Cruz, joined Harvard Coaching Clinic as a youngster to develop his talent and later moved on to Queen’s Park Cricket Club. Lara made his West Indies debut in 1990, but in April 1994 he became a household name. At the Antigua Recreation Ground, he broke the Test batting record held by Sir Garry Sobers when he scored 375 against England. Sobers, a Barbadian and West Indies legend, had held the record since 1958. Weeks later Lara created history again, playing for Warwickshire in English county cricket. He compiled a mammoth 501 not out to break Hanif Mohammed’s record of 499 for the highest first-class score. File photo: Brian Lara smashes the ball at one of the T20 cricket matches h...
