While Mulder still believes he made the right decision to leave the record untouched, the South African suggested Lara saw it differently and thinks he should have pushed on and attempted to break his mark of 400.
“Now that things have settled a little bit, I’ve chatted a little bit to Brian Lara,” Mulder told SuperSport.
“He said to me I’m creating my own legacy and I should have gone for it. He said records are there to be broken and he wishes if I’m ever in that position again, I actually go and score more than what he had.
“That was an interesting point of view from his side, but I still believe I did the right thing and respecting the game is the most important part for me.”
