Wiaan Mulder’s decision to not pursue Brian Lara’s record of highest individual Test score despite being close to it has been disapproved by the West Indies great himself who feels the South African all-rounder should have gone for it to create his own legacy.

Mulder, who was on 367 and looked good to go past Lara’s 400, decided against it in a recent Test against Zimbabwe that South Africa won comfortably inside three days. Mulder said his decision was out of respect for Lara, who smashed the epic knock back in 2004 against England.
