http://www.senore.com/Cricket/VVS-Laxman-c2772 lauds MS Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh – Cricket News Update
India’s ace batsman, VVS Laxman, has lauded his two teammates, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MS-Dhoni-c2028 and Yuvraj Singh, terming them as ‘exceptional attacking batsmen’ and ‘gifted stroke-players’.
Laxman claims that he enjoys rubbing shoulders with the star batting duo. For Dhoni, who is also the second most successful Indian skipper, he has used the word ‘cleaner hitter’.
Laxman opines that whenever the team need a big score, Dhoni leads from the front and proves his towering character. He claims that he feels comfortable while scoring when Mahi is standing on the other end.
VVS expressed these views after forging a long partnership of 224 runs in the first innings of the 2nd Test match against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 at Eden Gardens. Laxman lashed 176 not out, while Dhoni played out a 144-run knock, pumping the total up to 631.
Talking to the media, Laxman said, “When we needed quick runs, it was easy for me because Dhoni was at the other side and common sense says that take a single and give him as much strike as possible. And that's because he is definitely a cleaner hitter than
me. It's always great to see Dhoni. He is a brilliant batsman, he puts the bowlers under pressure right from the word go.”
Dhoni has been outstanding both as a batsman and captain since the last couple of years. He meticulously led the Men in Blue to clinch the title of the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kapil-Dev-c70234 brought it home in 1983.
Laxman has also hailed http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Yuvraj-Singh-c98364, who contributed 25 runs to the magnificent innings yesterday. He regarded the 29-year-old all-rounder as a great stroke player.
He told, “Both of them (Dhoni and Yuvraj) are exceptional attacking batsmen. Both are gifted and talented stroke-players, we are lucky to have such stroke-players in our team.”
Singh has made a successful comeback to the team after missing the last home series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013. The aggressive cricketer played a key role in India’s World Cup triumph.
Laxman believes that the Indians are matchless and invincible with such type of players in the camp. The 37-year-old is playing his 129th Test match.
