Brian Charles Lara, TC, OCC, AM （born 2 May 1969） is a Trinidadian former international cricketer, widely acknowledged as one of the greatest batsmen of all time.
He topped the Test batting rankings on several occasions and holds several cricketing records, including the record for the highest individual score in first-class cricket,
with 501 not out for Warwickshire against Durham at Edgbaston in 1994, which is the only quintuple-hundred in first-class cricket history.
Lara also holds the record for the highest individual score in a Test innings after scoring 400 not out against England at Antigua in 2004.
Lara also shares the record of scoring the highest number of runs in a single over in a Test match when he scored 28 runs off an over
by Robin Peterson of South Africa in 2003 （matched in 2013 by Australia's George Bailey and in 2020 by South Africa's Keshav Maharaj）.
Lara's match-winning performance of 153 not out against Australia in Bridgetown, Barbados in 1999 has been rated by Wisden as the second-best batting performance in the history of Test cricket,
next only to the 270 runs scored by Sir Donald Bradman in The Ashes Test match of 1937.
Muttiah Muralitharan, rated as the greatest Test match bowler ever by Wisden Cricketers' Almanack, and the highest wicket-taker in both Test cricket and in One Day Internationals （ODIs）,
