Brian Lara has said that the talented Darren Bravo will have to play with more maturity from now since he will be the main target of rival teams due to his sheer batting talent.
Bravo, whose style of batting is being compared to Lara's, has scored three centuries in his last four Tests - one in Bangladesh and two in India.
"Bravo seems to be going from strength to strength. It took a bit of time before he got his first hundred, but now he's had a taste of it, he's going to carry on."
"He's got to understand now that a lot of the opposition will start looking at him - the Australians, the English - because he's now a recognised player, and he will come under a bit of pressure. Hopefully, he has the maturity to come out of it," Lara was quoted as saying on a website.
Bravo's 136 against India at Eden Gardens in the second Test gave him the same run aggregate and average as Lara had after 12 Tests (941 runs at 47.05).
Talking about the ongoing series against India, Lara said the young players have done a great job so far despite conceding the three-Test rubber 0-2.
"We haven't won any Test matches in India but I still believe that the young players have done a great job," said Lara.
