Laxman, is a former Indian cricketer.〔(VVS Laxman player profile at Cricinfo )〕 Laxman represented Hyderabad in domestic cricket and played for Lancashire in English county cricket. He was the captain of the Deccan Chargers team in the Indian Premier League in its first year〔(Deccan Chargers squad – IPL 2008 )〕 before being replaced by Adam Gilchrist for the next year.〔(Gilchrist replaces Laxman at helm – The Telegraph )〕 In 2011, Laxman was awarded the Padma Shri award, India's fourth highest civilian award from the Government of India.〔(VVS Laxman conferred with Padma Shri – Zee News )〕 Laxman bats right-handed and occasionally bowls off-spin. He is noted for his superb timing and the ability to hit against the spin, reminiscent of his role model Mohammed Azharuddin. Laxman is particularly noted for the skilful use of his supple wrists, which allow him to flick the ball to various places, but usually through the leg side. This also helps in his catching, and he typically fields in the slips or in a bat pad position. Laxman is noted most for his batting against Australia, in both Tests and One Day Internationals. Six out of his 17 Test hundreds, and four out of his six ODI hundreds have come against Australia.〔(Statistics / Statsguru / VVS Laxman / Test record against Australia )〕〔(Statistics / Statsguru / VVS Laxman / ODI record against Australia )〕 He has two double-centuries in Tests, both of them against Australia: his personal best of 281 at Kolkata in 2000–01, and 200 not out at Feroz Shah Kotla in 2008–09,〔(Statistics / Statsguru / VVS Laxman / High scores in Test cricket )〕 and in 2002 he was named one of ''Wisden's'' five Cricketers of the Year. In 2012, Laxman retired from international cricket.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/india-v-new-zealand-2012/content/current/story/578096.html )〕 ==Personal life== Laxman was born in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh (now Telangana).〔〔http://www.sportskeeda.com/cricket/vvs-laxman-the-disaster-management-specialist〕 Laxman's parents are, noted Physicians Dr. Shantaram and Dr. Satyabhama of Vijayawda-Guntur.
