#5 VVS Laxman
The stylish batsman from Hyderabad was known to have the best wrists in the game after Mohammad Azharuddin.
VVS Laxman is one batsman Australia can never forget. He preserved his best for the Aussies. VVS became very very special for all the Indians after a marathon inning of 281 against Australia in Kolkata.
The knock, along with Dravid's 180, turned the match on its head. To everyone's surprise, India emerged victorious after following on.
Laxman is known for his batting with the tailenders and has played numerous match-winning innings in the lower-order.
