5 great cricketers who should not have played T20 cricket

#3 VVS Laxman

The quest to play aggressive knocks hampered Laxman's progress in the T20 format

When you talk about Australia, you talk about VVS Laxman. When you talk about victorious chases, you talk about 'Very Very Special' Laxman.

One of the most proficient right-handers to have represented India, Laxman was the calm and composed head that solidified the middle order in Test matches.

He did a decent job in the ODIs but in the Test arena, he secured a name as one of the batting greats, with an average close to 46, which was combined with adroit wrists and delightful stroke play.

In the shortest format of the game, he played for Deccan Chargers and Kochi Tuskers Kerala but failed to leave any footprint as his average slumped to just 22.31 with a strike rate of 114.71. Simply, the game was too demanding for the crafty player.
