Brian Lara made a prediction, said - 'Shubman Gill will break my record of 400 and 501 runs'

Former West Indies cricket team batsman Brian Lara has made a big prediction regarding Shubman Gill . Actually, Brian Lara believes that Shubman Gill is the strongest batsman in the current generation and he is going to rule world cricket in the coming times. Not only this, Lara has even said that Gill will be the only player who will break his record of 501 unbeaten runs in his first class career and 400 unbeaten runs in Test cricket.

Brian Lara seems to be very impressed with this young batsman and he considers him very talented. He said, 'Gill will break both my big records (record of 501 runs and record of 400 runs in Test cricket). He did not score a century in the World Cup, but looked at the innings he has played earlier. He has scored centuries in all formats, he has scored a double century in ODIs and has also played many match-winning innings in the IPL.

He further said, 'Gill is the most talented batsman of the new generation. He will rule cricket in the coming years. I am confident that he can break my records. If Gill plays county cricket, he will break my record of 501 runs and in Test cricket he can break my record of 400 runs. Cricket has changed now. Cricketers are playing T20 leagues across the world. Now the scoring rate has gone up a lot. You want to score big runs. So you will keep seeing big scores. Shubman will score big, remember my words.

Let us tell you that in the year 1994, while playing for Warwickshire in the County Championship, Brian Lara had played a record-breaking unbeaten inning of 501 runs against Durham. Not only this, the great Caribbean batsman created history by scoring unbeaten 400 runs in an innings on the third day of the Test match against England in 2005. In this historic innings, Lara faced 582 balls. He is currently the first and last batsman to do so.
