Laxman goes a notch above Gavaskar, carves out a niche
The Indian cricket followers, who were feeling pinched till yesterday, now were seen pinching themselves. Is this a dream? Are they the same guys? These are the questions asked after VVS Laxman and Rahul Dravid’s historic histrionics for India on Day Four of the second Test.



Over to Ganguly and his bowlers...
There were two Laxmans hogging the limelight in today’s dailies one for a noble cause and the other rather notoriously. But we will confine ourselves to V V S this young pedigreed fella from Hyderabad.



Whistling his way to stardom, the VVS way
A story goes that while India was chasing that record score of 300-plus at Dhaka against Pakistan, VVS Laxman, among the reserves then, sat near the ropes whistling. But jump to any conclusion, this is a story of some cold aloofness of a man on the bench with no care about his mates battling in the middle.
