New Delhi, June 6: The summer of 1994 in cricket is often called the summer of Brian Lara. The West Indies batting great had already established himself as one of the most promising talents in the world going into the year, but between April and June, Lara etched himself in the history books with two record breaking innings.

In April 1994, Lara set what was then the record for the highest individual score in Test cricket, scoring 375 against England. Two months later, Lara turned out for Warwickshire in the County Championship against Durham and smashed a mind-numbing 501 runs in a single innings.
