A video tribute to the stylish Hyderabadi batsman, VVS Laxman (born on November 1, 1974) who celebrates his 38th birthday today.

 

The Hyderabadi batsman called it a day from international cricket recently after a long career that saw him do the impossible on more than an occasion.

 

He was India's man for a crisis situation -- as he would invariably rise to the occasion and produce a gem. Who can forget the epic 281 against Australia at Kolkata in 2001, or the 73 not out against the same opposition at Mohali to pull off a run-chase with the tail?
