Brian Lara Predicts Future Stars Could Break His Test Record

Michael Atherton Shares Insightful Conversation with Brian Lara

Michael Atherton, the former captain of England, recently shared a fascinating story involving cricket legend Brian Lara. According to Atherton, Lara expressed that emerging talents like India's Yashasvi Jaiswal and England's Harry Brook might have the capability to eclipse his remarkable Test record of 400 not out.

During a discussion on the Sky Sports Podcast, Atherton remarked:

"I had a conversation with Brian Lara just before he set his first record with 375 runs. I asked him if he thought someone would eventually break it. He confidently replied that someone would, given how quickly modern players score. When I inquired about who might be the most likely candidates, he pointed to Yashasvi Jaiswal and Harry Brook, suggesting they could be in contention to achieve it."

Lara's historic score of 400*, achieved against England in 2004, remains the highest individual score in Test cricket. Despite many great players coming close, none have yet managed to surpass this milestone.
