Going on your link and the stats it'd probably be Gilchrist.
Target: 369, Australia won by 4 wickets

Lara was good enough that he will not be be forgotten, Sunday's performance guarantees Ben Stokes the same, beyond that, is a bit Nick Hornby. (which is fair enough).

There was a different Lara innings not included in that article when WI broke the world record for a fourth innings chase by beating Australia by 1 wicket. 428/9 I think?
Edit: just checked and it was 418/7. Sarwan and Chanderpaul each got a century with Lara contributing a 60-odd.

Perera was every bit as astounding as stokes. vs Steyn, Rabada, Philander, Olivier. A hell of a bowling line-up. Amazing to have two such innings in the same year. It was also, from memory, the first ever Sri Lanka win in South Africa.

More opinion:
Jonathan Liew counts down his greatest innings of the Test cricket era in the wake of Ben Stokes's heroics at Headingley to ask: was it the best knock of all time?
30 greatest Test cricket innings of all time: from Botham to Bradman, Lara to Stokes and everything in between
