VVS Laxman was an integral part of a batting heavy Indian side which tasted a lot of success in the international arena under the aegis of Saurav Ganguly and MS Dhoni. Laxman created a niche for himself by producing some of the most sensational knocks in the Test arena.

His 281 not out against the Aussies which helped India escape from the jaws of defeat and win the Eden Gardens Test is considered as a masterpiece by Wisden. Laxman, who played 134 Tests and 86 ODIs, scored 8,781 runs in Tests and 2,338 runs in ODIs.
