3) The master of cricket
He is from the team where legends like Viv Richards, Clive Lloyd used to play. There's an interesting story about Lara revealed by Adam Gilchrist, who watched him from close quarters in a 2003 match. A fielder at deep midwicket was taken out and placed behind point, in company of another fielder already stationed in the area. Lara quietly murmured, "Mistake", which was heard by Gilchrist. The next ball he dispatched over deep midwicket for a six.
Gilchrist then challenged him to attack the off-side, and like a master craftsman, he obliged, hitting two back-to-back boundaries between those two fielders. They were still the same old pots for him, and he knew how to find the gaps between them.
