“Now that things have settled a little bit, I've chatted a little bit to Brian Lara,” Mulder told SuperSport.

It was a night soaked in nostalgia as the West Indies Masters banked on the all-round brilliance of centurion Lendl Simmons, Brian Lara and Ravi Rampaul’s five-wicket blast to ensure their qualification for the semifinals of the International Masters League (IML) 2025, with a 29-run victory over South Africa Masters here on Tuesday.
On his 50th birthday Sachin Tendulkar was honoured at the Sydney Cricket Ground with a set of gates named after him and West Indies great Brian Lara.
"I would give him the players he wants and focus on the next few years. It's tough and I am never going to point my finger at Kohli who gives everything on the field. They could have played better cricket and finished at either No. 1 or two. Things might have been different."
"Experience is Chennai's major asset. The two openers (Ruturaj Gaikwad and Faf du Plessis) are doing the business but they also have the experience of playing these important playoff games and that could come in handy. MS Dhoni and his brains and his thinking are going to come good,"
The middle-order of Agar's all-time World XI features Sachin Tendulkar, Brian Lara, Viv Richards and Adam Gilchrist, the last of whom will also doubles up as the wicketkeeper of the team.
Lara took to Instagram to post the video of Tendulkar gritty knock that as always had reminded the world of the right-handed batsman's calibre.
Speaking on the development, Tendulkar said that it was the right step under the circumstance to reschedule the tournament.
Lara added that West Indies as a team would be worried about facing Australia and India at the T20 World Cup scheduled to be played later in the year.
Brian Lara, also a former West Indies captain, stressed that a result would keep people's interest in the longer format of the game.
