#3 VVS at Eden Gardens

VVS Laxman

Next on our list is VVS Laxman. He enjoyed a lot playing at the Eden Garden and over the course of his illustrious career, Laxman has played some memorable knocks for India.

In the famous 2001 series, Laxman scored 281 against a legendary Australian side and was involved in a mammoth 376 partnership with Rahul Dravid as the duo batted through Day four. They scripted one of the most famous Tests wins for India after being asked to follow on.

His 281 was the highest individual score by an Indian in Test matches before Virender Sehwag surpassed it after his triple hundred at Multan.

Numbers don’t tell a different story about VVS and his connection with Eden Gardens. He amassed 1217 runs in 10 Tests at an average of 110.63 with five centuries and three fifties and the best of 281.
