VVS Laxman, the Indian middle-order batsman has praised veteran batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Tendulkar-c2556 and played down talks of individual milestones by claiming that such accolades are not discussed in team meetings.
As the Men In Blue look set to tour Down Under, all eyes will firmly focus on the Little Maestro’s hundredth ton where the Indian living legend has failed to achieve the mammoth feet in his last two Test series.
However, for Laxman individual accolades are simply the outcome of playing consistently for the country, and feels that Tendulkar will achieve that milestone in the upcoming series.
“We don't talk about individual milestones in the dressing rooms. From newcomer http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750,” said Laxman while talking to Times of India.
“Tendulkar has always seen to the fact that India win the matches. If he achieves the milestone, it will be a historic occasion for all of us. He has been a true match-winner and a consistent performer for the team for the last two decades. Taking the entire
team's responsibility on his shoulders is no mean task.”
Arguably, the 38-year-old little genius has been a pivotal figure for the team since making his debut more than two decades back. He has featured in 184 Test matches for his country, scoring a mammoth 15183 runs at an impeccable average of 56.02.
The player has had a lean patch of late where he has failed to conjure up a three- figure score in his previous two Test series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746
will provide him with another opportunity to reach to that elusive ton.
The pressure has been immense on the veteran, and he is among a few others Indian players travelling to the Australia in advance to ensure that the team prepares well for a tough challenge ahead.
For Laxman and Sachin, it could their concluding away series against the Kangaroos, and both will be looking to ensure that the Men In Blue finally come up trumps in the four match Test series.
