Hooper said, ‘Sir Vivian Richards and I are very disappointed after reading Brian Lara’s recently released book. In this, not only have I and Sir Vivian Richards been portrayed in a wrong way, but many false allegations have also been made against us. The way he has portrayed us in this book is not correct at all.’ According to the report, Brian Lara had said in his book that Carl Hooper was a better player than him and Sachin Tendulkar. Not only this, he had also written a lot about Sir Vivian Richards in this book. Brian Lara made a very surprising statement in his book about Carl Hooper and Sir Vivian Richards Both the former players gave a statement together that, ‘Sir Vivian Richards used to make them cry three times every week in the dressing room but Hooper only once. His voice was such that if you are not strong then you will have a lot of trouble with it. But I don’t think so. We did not have any trouble with his words at all. Hooper’s first captain was Sir Vivian Richards and he never had any problem with him. He always supported Hooper and praised him but everything is wrong in Brian Lara’s book due to which the families of both the former players have also been shocked. 5 Australian players who scored half-century in their debut IPL match IPL 2024: These 11 foreign players took crores of rupees but flopped IPL 2024: 5 players who hit the most sixes in the 19th and 20th overs of IPL 5 fastest bowlers in IPL history Who are the head coaches of all 10 teams in IPL 2024?

Lara says that he and Sachin Tendulkar were nowhere close to the talent of Carl Hooper, who is counted among the best all-rounders in the world. Apart from this, Lara has also praised Carl Hooper’s captaincy skills. Lara also expressed a sense of sadness, noting that it was somewhat ironic that Hooper’s true potential was fully realized only during his tenure as captain, as he was not able to showcase his talent before that. Brian Lara gave a big statement Let us tell you that Brian Lara said in his new book, as quoted by ESPN Cricinfo – Carl was one of the best players I have ever seen play. I would say that even Tendulkar and I could not come close to that talent. Lara further said- If we look at the statistics of Carl Hooper when he was captaining and when he was not, then they are quite different. His batting average as a captain was around 50. Therefore, when he got this responsibility, he enjoyed it. But it was sad that he used his real talent only as a captain. It is worth noting that Carl Hooper’s cricket career for the West Indies cricket team was about 16 years. But during this time he got the opportunity to captain the Caribbean team for only 1 year. During this time, he scored 1609 runs in 37 innings at an average of 45.97, while without captaincy his average had come down to 33.76.
