<p>“I know there is a lot of talk about my similarity in batting with Lara. It’s a honour to get talked in the same breath as a great batsman like Lara. I just hope I can match some of his deeds,” Bravo, a member of the Trinidad and Tobago team in the Champions League, said on Tuesday. <br /><br />Bravo, who made his debut against India in Kingston in June, impressed all instantly with a sparkling array of shots, high backlift and twinkling footwoork, all reminiscent of the more illustrious Trinidadian. <br /><br />Sometimes, getting compared with legends such as Lara could heighten the expectations from a player, paving the way for undue pressure. However, Bravo said the tag had not put any burden on him. <br /><br />“When you play like that, people will naturally compare you with Lara. But that has not added any pressure on me. I know what my abilities are and my focus is on improving my game and playing a long time for the West Indies in all formats. More importantly, I have my brother, Dwayne, near me in the team and that helps a lot to keep me calm and focused,” the 20-year old said.</p>
