#3 VVS Laxman- 4105 Runs

Seeing Laxman bat, was like seeing a stream in full slow

This man was indeed a 'Very Very Special' batsman. Seeing VVS Laxman bat was like seeing a stream in full flow- his silken cover drives through the off side, and his ability to send the ball racing past midwicket with just a flick of the wrists made him one of the most difficult batsmen to bowl to.

In the 61 Tests that he played outside Asia, he scored 4105 runs including 8 hundreds at an average of 42.31

RECORD: Matches: 61 Runs: 4105 Average: 42.31 100s: 8

Laxman's break down of runs in different countries:

Australia- 1236 Runs

England- 586 Runs

West Indies- 1146 Runs

New Zealand- 322 Runs

South Africa- 566 Runs

Zimbabwe- 249 Runs
