I Didn't Plan Equalling Lara's Record, Says Bravo

Mumbai, Nov 23: West Indies’ Darren Bravo and Brian Lara may have more in common than just class, but the former doesn’t seem to get bogged down by the similarities and comparisons with the legendary Prince of Trinidad.

Bravo, who had equalled Lara’s record of scoring 941 runs in 12 matches prior to the ongoing third Test against India, today stroked his way to 166, but still fell short of the 167 the world record holder had scored in his 13th Test, against England at Georgetown.

“Had I scored one more run I would have equalled Lara’s record. But it is something that I didn’t plan, it is not something that I would go out and achieve.

“Nevertheless, I played a good knock and got a big hundred for my team. Hopefully, we would go out there tomorrow and put down a good performance,” Bravo said after helping his team amass 575 for nine on day two of the Test at the Wankhede Stadium here.
