Vangipurappu Vekata Sai (V.V.S.) Laxman is an excellent right-handed batsman and spin bowler of India. He was born in Hyderabad in 1974. He has showed his best skill against Australia both in test and one-day cricket matches for a maximum number of times.
Laxman started his test career in 1996 against South Africa at Ahmedabad. Since 1997, he had to alter his batting position. Now he plays as the opener for India.
In January 2000, he was in his team during the Australia tour. In that tour, he scored 167 runs. He found that his position was not suitable for him as the opener. For this reason, he gave up the international cricket and started to play domestic cricket again. After about one year, he returned again to the international team.
He has played a total 116 test and 86 one-day matches in his career. His highest scores are 281 and 131 in the test and one-day matches respectively. He has 16 test centuries and 6 one-day centuries. In test, his total run is 7695. For one-day, it is 2338. He also played 22 Tewnty20 matches where his highest score is unbeaten 78 runs.
It is amusing that he started his one-day cricket career with a duck (scoring as zero) in a match against Zimbabwe in 1998, and also finished that career with a duck in a match against S. Africa in 2006.
