An article about the man whose contribution to the indian cricket test team is not talked much and appreciated: He is none other than VVS Laxman:

There may be many players reason for India's number one position in test cricket but VVS laxman's contribution should not be forgotten. so i devote this statistics to him and his die hard fans:

VVS LAXMAN

no. of test matches played by india since 2000: 121

no.of test matches won by india since 2000: 48

Out of 48 winning matches, in 22 matches VVS laxman has scored 50 or 100.moreover he is not part of the team in some matches out of that 121.some drawn matches also there in that 121.Laxman has contributed well in drawn matches also..i hope that this statistics help in understanding how important laxman is to team india to be number 1 in test match cricket.

i wish this silent hero for his ongoing series in england and other upcoming series.
