5 successful Indian cricketers who were rarely seen in TV ads

#2 VVS Laxman

The stylish right-hander from Hyderabad is one of the greatest batsmen to have ever played for India and would definitely be part of an all-time Indian test eleven.

In addition to that, VVS Laxman played the greatest Test innings ever by an Indian batsman when he scored 281 in that famous Test match against Australia in 2001 at Eden Gardens.

One would think that he would be all over the television screens selling one product or the other for top dollar but that hardly ever happened and it is difficult for anyone to recall seeing Laxman in an advertisement at any point in his career.

After his retirement, Laxman has gone into coaching in the IPL with the Sunrisers Hyderabad and has proved to be quite successful. On the other hand, he is now a regular on television as an analyst and perhaps he is a far more familiar face on Indian television than he ever was during his playing days.
