One of the most outstanding cricketers in the history of the game, Brian Lara was born on 2.5.1969 in Cantaro, Santa Cruz, Trinidad and Tobago. The attractive left-hander owns two most prestigious records in cricket: highest individual score (400 not out) in Tests and highest individual score (501 not out) in first class cricket. As of now, he is also the leading run-getter (11,953) in Test cricket. Having 34 Test centuries under his belt, Lara retired from international cricket after the World Cup 2007 at home in the West Indies. Although Test cricket was always his first choice, Lara still finished with 10,405 runs in One-Day Internationals. He had, however, only limited success as captain of the West Indies mostly due to factionalism and lack of upcoming talents. At the fag end of his career, Lara tried to unite and boost the performance of the team but succeeded only partially.
Lara made both his Test and ODI debut in 1990 against Pakistan. He has the unique distinction of regaining the world record with 400 not out, after Australian opener Matthew Hayden wiped out his earlier record of 375 by scoring 380. Lara is only the second batsman after the great Sir Donald Bradman to score two triple hundreds in Tests.
He has just mesmerized millions of cricket fans across the world by his unique approach to batsmanship. Statistics is only secondary to the manner in which he scored his runs.
Among Lara’s many fantastic knocks, his 277 against the mighty Australians at the Sydney Cricket Ground in 1992-93 is acclaimed as one of the best to have been ever played. "The Prince of Port-of-Spain" or simply "The Prince" is the father of an eight-year-old girl named Sydney whom he fathered with Trinidadian journalist and model Leasel Rovedas.
