Laxman’s name will forever be associated with one of the finest innings in Test match cricket, a 281 against one of the toughest side, Steve Waugh’s Australia, to win an almost lost match at the Eden Gardens in 2001.

Before the match Laxman was tried at various positions including opening the innings. He finally made it clear that he won’t open.

Laxman scored 59 out of a team score of 171 in the first innings, created history in the second innings and also he added 376 runs for the fifth wicket with Rahul Dravid (180).

A great choice for 5 innings that made the good players ‘great’.
