VERY VERY SPECIAL LAXMAN IN THE WORDS OF LEGENDS


VVS Laxman. The name is always special in world cricket. It is unable for every cricket lover to forget the trails he made during his fantastic cricketing career. Being one among the fabulous five of Indian cricket, he showed us newer depths of cricketing. Laxman is undoubtedly one of the finest test batsmen of all time. Here are some quotations made by some legends on the legendary Laxman

  • "When I walk out to play in Hyderabad I will feel a deep void. A void that can never be filled. My dear friend, VVS Laxman." – Sachin Tendulkar
  • “If you get Dravid, great. If you get Sachin, brilliant. If you get Laxman, it’s a miracle.” – Steve Waugh
  • "The best part about Laxman was his sense of grace on and off the field, both in good times and bad times. I will remember him most for his sense of balance while batting, his ability to keep smiling whatever the situation and the tenacity to keep bouncing back." – Rahul Dravid
  • "Laxman you were amazing [at] cricket everyone knows, but you were surely the best human being I have ever met. God bless you with all the happiness in future." – Harbhajan Singh
  • "VVS is one of the finest human beings to have played cricket. One of the main pillars of the team and a true friend. Words are not enough." – Virendar Sehwag

  • "Requires a very special man to turn his back on a grandstand end and accept the moment has come. Rose in my eyes if he could any more." – Harsha Bhogle
  • "Not many batsmen made batting look as easy as VVS Laxman. If a cricketer's greatness is to be measured in terms of his performances against the best opposition of his time, then Laxman stands right at the top; his record against Australia, the world's No. 1 team for the better part of his career, speaks for itself. Indian cricket-lovers, and the game of cricket itself, will miss him for the elegance and grace that he epitomised, on and off the field." – N Srinivasan
  • "That was the brightest day in Laxman's career. That innings had a big impact on Indian cricket.

Since then, we never looked back as Indian cricket kept improving." – Sourav Ganguly on Laxman’s 281 in the 2002 Kolkata Test against Australia

  • "The whole team will miss you VVS. One of the best human beings I have ever met in my life. Spent a lot of time with him while batting and fielding and the chat would always be about the team. Personally, I will really miss you Lachu bhai." – MS Dhoni
  • “On his day he could beat even 22 fielders and find the boundary.” – Zaheer Khan
