V.V.S. Laxman, who has played 134 Tests and 86 ODIs scoring 8,781 runs in Tests and 2,338 runs in ODIs, is one of the finest cricketers Team India has ever had. His cricketing skills remain unmatched. The cricketer has always managed to make India proud.
Fans of the batsman can never forget his magnificent 281-run knock against Australia at the Eden Gardens in 2001 which is still regarded as one of the finest knocks in the history of Test cricket. Laxman is still one of the batsmen who believed in the technicalities of cricket and still enjoys a huge fan following.
