Honoured to get the Arjuna Award! But. Really sad VVS has retired! I was hoping he would play end of the year ! Nicest human being ever.
Someone with a heart of gold. An absolute team man and mattered the most when India needed him. Great in my books a legend who played for India
And a very special friend! Dear very very special you will be missed !

A man of great dignity says good bye with great dignity. that is how vvs laxman has always been #vvs
was privileged to watch and know an artist over the years. what a batsman but also what a team player
requires a very special man to turn his back on a grandstand end & accept the moment has come. rose in my eyes if he could any more #vvs
