Regarded as one of the finest batsmen that world cricket has ever produced, Brian Lara's 15-year-old record of 400 not out against England is still the highest individual score in Test cricket. Lara believes Kohli, David Warner and Rohit Sharma have the potential to break his record.

Batting legend Brian Lara believes West Indies will need to adopt a proactive approach in the upcoming three-Test series against England and consider the matches as four-day games as the visitors lack the firepower to last five days.

'The Pataudi Trophy vanished overnight -- no farewell, no tribute, just a quiet replacement.' 'If a name can be erased this easily, what faith can we place in the permanence of Tendulkar-Anderson?'
'He is a brilliant player, the way he started in one-day cricket, he has been exceptional. He has been a huge part of India's success at top of the order.'
