Which batsman scored 500 runs in an innings?

This great record was created by one of the greatest ever cricketers, Brian Lara. After Sir Don Bradman, cricket has not seen a batsman who has made so many high scores. The score of 501 not out is the world record in first class matches. Lara is also the world record holder for the highest score in Test innings – 400 not out. He is one of the only two batsmen in Test Cricket history (again in company of Sir Bradman) to score two triple centuries. He has aggregated 11, 953 runs in 131 tests, with 34 hundreds. Nine of his centuries are double centuries! He also holds the record for the highest total number of runs in a Test Career, after overtaking Allan Border in November 2005. He is the only man to have reclaimed the Test record score scored 375 against England in 1994, a record that stood until Mathew Hayden’s 380 against Zimbabwe in 2003. Then Lara scored 400 not our against England in 2004! Lara began his cricket career while at school. Aged 14, he amassed 745 runs in the schoolboys’ league. In 1990, he made his test debut for West Indies against Pakistan. Lara is considered by many as the world’s best batsman. During the match in 1994, Lara playing for Warwickshire, was dropped by Chris Scott, the Durham wicket keeper. Then Lara was on 18. Lara went on to make another 483 runs and finished at 501 not out!
