The very very Special Laxman did it again for India for being the biggest contribution to one of the historic win of India against Australia.

Just when you thought India versus Australia in Test cricket couldn’t get any better, it did. All was seen drama,excitation, emotion ,anger on the 5th day when India fashioned its closest victory ever. In the end the World’s No. 1 test team world No. 1 fought back from 124/8 to pull off a one-wicket win, driven by two men who were physically ailing but never lost heart – The wizard Laxman and Tale which proved to be a fairyTale for India Ishant Sharma. The two added The two add 81 runs, India’s second-highest partnership for 9th wicket against Australia. Ishant never lost heart and remained cool while Laxman also trusted him and both was a big support for each other.

After Ishant was out the only hope was Laxman and we loves to scrap in the situations like this.Check out his stats: he has an overall average of 47.40, which rises to 50.47 if one looks only at the second innings. Against Australia, who have come to dread him, Laxman averages 55.58.Laxman made it again for India and proved why he is so special, consistent and cool by clinching a win against Australia by 1 wicket and making Ponting more hungry for his 1st win as captain in India.Both the captains also praised Laxman innings by saying “VVS was really remarkable in this match. He helped the team overcome a batting collapse laxman remained on crease, hit boundaries, rotated strike and kept the scoreboard moving all the time,” Dhoni said after the match. the Australian Captain said “Laxman’s unbeaten innings was outstanding. But our performance was also satisfying, boys played well. We failed to take a couple of wickets quickly,”
