When he was asked who was the Greatest Of All Time, he referred to many stars of the past. He talked about Sir Garry Sobers, Sir Viv Richards, and Sir Don Bradman. “The Greatest Of All Time has to be….different eras. I am someone who finds it very difficult to have an opinion on the Greatest Of All Time when there are so many good ones. I mean, back in the day, of course, Don Bradman. Let me give you a few – Garfield Sobers, a great all-rounder, Sir Vivian Richards, a great batsman,” Lara was quoted as saying by Star Sports.
