West Indian Great Brian Lara joins the mythical panel
The discussion rotates to assess modern and previous players in categories: “goat” (the greatest of all time), “legend,” or “great.” Lara, known for his amazing cricket’s mind and unmatched batting artistry, did not hesitate to give strong opinions to some of the most influential players of cricket in generations. The format was a quickfire, but Lara’s answers gave deep cricketing insight. From speed sensations to batting giants, the list included a diverse mixture, both retired and active. Their selection shows a mixture of statistical talent and relevant effects on the game. Lara’s decision, although brief in words, echoed with the authority to his huge stature in the game.
Jasprit Bumrah to Rohit Sharma: Lara chose legends and goats
Lara classified Kevin Peterson As a legend, and his career supports that label. Peterson scored more than 8,000 runs in an average 104 tests of 47.28, including 23 centuries. He was the most aggressive modern era batsman in England, who played an important role in the Ashes win and re-defined the middle-order flare of England.
Glen Mcgrath Get rare goat tag from Lara. McGrath, Fast Bowling Lynchpin of Australia retired with 563 Test wickets in 124 matches, which is on an amazing average of 21.64. Their accuracy and tireless line-and-length games set new standards for persecuted batsmen and rapid bowling stability in continents.
When? Jasprit Bumrah A goat was named, it shows that Lara’s praise is based on the effect rather than longevity. Bumrah has already taken 200 wickets in less than 50 tests, with less than 20 average and remarkable performance in all formats, including the match -winning mantras in England, Australia and South Africa.
Shaheen Afridi A legend was labeled. However, in the early stages of his career, Shaheen still has a significant impact with more than 100 Test wickets by the age of 24. His left -handed swing, early successes and performance in ICC events such as 2021 T20 World Cup have strengthened his growing position.

Chris GayleLara’s countrymen and long -run teammates also earned legend status. Gayle has scored more than 13,000 runs in T20 alone, and his international career has two triple centuries and the World Cup double century. His explosive style redefined strength-touching globally.
Ken WilliamsonHonored with legend status, is one of the most technically talented batsmen of the modern era. The New Zealand captain has scored more than 9,000 Test runs above 50, with 33 centuries to be included in the longest format. He inspired New Zealand for the World Test Championship title and continued to anchor his batting.
Rohit SharmaAnother legend in Lara’s book, has re-written the rule book in white-ball cricket. Rohit is one of the most prominent inaugural batsmen, with three ODE dual centuries and over 10,000 runs in ODIs. He won India as a big victory as a captain and excellently in all formats.
Jacques Kallis Immediately a goat was declared, and is fine. South African all -rounder is the only player to score over 10,000 runs and take 250 wickets in both Odis and Tests. Their influence as a real all -rounder is unique, with a 45 test centuries and a batting average of 55.37.
At the end, Adam gilchrist Elite joined the goat club in Lara’s list. Gilchrist redefined the wicketkeeper-batter role with his explosive style, scored more than 5,500 Test runs at a strike rate of over 80 and claimed 416 dismissal behind the stumps. His World Cup win and ash heroes made him one of the transformational figures of the game.
