It was indeed a very proud moment for Laxman. He has lead India to victory. He has done it with the help of Virendra Shewag who 2 wickets in the beginning of the 2nd innings helped achieve that victory which India had been looking for.
This was a much needed victory after the drubbing which India faced in the 2nd Test where they had to lose the match. Laxman was rightly given the Man of the Match award and Shewag was awarded the Player of the Tournament.This is only Laxmans’s 3rd Man of the Match award and he has done the whole country of India proud. In spite of having leg pain he asked for the runner Virendra and kept the hope of India winning the match.
Tendulkar loss after a magnificent initial partnership did not deter Laxman. Raina came in next and Laxman along with Raina enseured that victory will come India way. Indeed it came.
This would indeed be one of the memorable moments for Laxman and India too since a loss would also have meant that India lose the number one ranking in Tests.
The crowd back in India was skeptical about Laxman’s place in the team, he has however proved them all wrong. Skipper Dhoni was all praise for Laxman.
Laxman also received praises from the Sri Lankan Captain and the Indian coach Gary Kirstein.
