Best Test XI of the 21st century

4. Brian Lara

5th Test Match England v West Indi

The legendary Brian Lara makes it to our fantasy XI, and his selection is a no brainer. He holds the record of being the only batsman to score a 100, 200, 300, 400 in test matches.

His 400 Not out against England in Antigua in 2004 still remains a world record individual score in an innings. Lara also held the record of most runs in test match cricket till the time Sachin Tendulkar broke his tally in October 2008. He has most runs at the No. 3 position in test cricket. He is often regarded as the greatest left handed batsman to play the game.

The elegant left hander scored 11953 runs in test cricket at an average of 52.89.
