West Indies cricket legend, Brian Lara,<br />
was admitted to a hospital on<br />
Tuesday.<br />
The 50-year-old from Trinidad, is considered<br />
one of the greatest batsmen<br />
to have played the game. He was kept<br />
in the Global Hospital in Parel, after<br />
complaining of discomfort during an<br />
event here, a source close to the player<br />
told PTI.<br />
“The hospital authorities, so far are<br />
tight-lipped about why the former<br />
player has been admitted... are expected<br />
to issue a statement on his<br />
condition in some time.”<br />
The former batsman is in the country<br />
as an analyst for the official broadcasters<br />
of the ongoing World Cup.<br />
The legendary left-hander played 131<br />
Tests for the West Indies, and averaged<br />
52.89 for his 11,953 runs, while<br />
his 299 ODI appearances yielded<br />
10,405 runs at 40.17.<br />
He is the first and only player to have<br />
registered 400 runs in a Test innings.<br />
Lara is considered one among the<br />
most awe-inspiring batters of an era<br />
in which the iconic Sachin Tendulkar<br />
was his contemporary.
