Let us tell you that if Hanif Mohammad had taken one more run in that match, he would have easily completed 500 runs.

However, he is still the second player in world cricket who has played such a big innings in first class cricket.

The record of playing all the big innings is recorded in the name of this player.

The record for playing the biggest innings in first class cricket is held in the name of former West Indies cricket team legend Brian Lara, who scored an unbeaten 501 runs against Durham while playing for Warwickshire in 1994. Lara did this feat in Birmingham. It is known that Lara is the only opponent in world cricket who has touched the figure of 500 runs in first class cricket.
