Top 10 Number-Three Batsmen in One Day Cricket of all time

2. Brian Lara

Brian Lara

One of the most enthralling stroke makers to grace the Gentleman’s game, Brian Lara certainly established himself as dependable number three for the Windies for the most part of the 90s. Lara was a fan’s delight with his encapsulating high backlift and a typical Calypso late shuffle across the stumps.

The 'Prince from Trinidad' looked regal with his flourishing drives and late cuts. With the West Indies not having a stable opening combination in ODIs, a lot of onus fell on Lara to construct the innings. An outright match winner on his day, Lara could make batting look easy with some breath-taking innings. A select few batsmen had the ability to play pace and spin with the same ease, Lara was one of them.
