Top 10 most destructive batsmen in Test cricket's history

#4 Brian Lara

Brian Lara

West Indies batting genius Brian Lara was one of the most dangerous batsmen in Test cricket. The flashy stroke-maker packed a punch with his enthralling and eye-catching stroke play. A magician with his wrists, Lara had an appetite for big hundreds and made the most when he got his eye. Pace or spin, the West Indian tore apart attacks with his classy shot making. He looked at his majestic best when he drove seamers through the covers or played the late cut against spinners.

The West Indian great holds the record for the highest Test and first-class score. A career batting average of over 50 combined with a strike rate of 60 plus shows how commanding the enigmatic genius was at the peaks of his prowess.
