[మార్చు] Career start

లక్ష్మణ్ made his Test debut in 1996, hitting a fifty against దక్షిణ ఆఫ్రికా at అహమ్మదాబాదు. However, he was subsequently unable to cement his place in a star-studded Indian middle-order. Instead, he was asked to open the innings, starting in South Africa in 1997. లక్ష్మణ్ intermittently continued in this role for nearly three years, but without any consistent success. In January 2000, he made 167 against Australia at Sydney, a rare high point for India in an otherwise disastrous tour. Despite this success against an attack containing both గ్లెన్ మెక్ గ్రాత్ and షేన్ వార్న్, Laxman apparently decided that he would return to domestic cricket, rather than continue playing as opener, a role which he believed did not suit him. As a result, లక్ష్మణ్ was out of the Test team for nearly a year. He was recalled in late 2000, and also found a spot in the side for the home series against Australia in 2001.

[మార్చు] Laxman's best moments

Laxman's career changed dramatically in this series. In the first Test at Mumbai, Laxman made 20 and 12, as the entire Indian batting line-up, with the exception of సచిన్ టెండుల్కర్, capitulated, leading to a 10-wicket defeat. In the next Test, however, Laxman shot to fame with an extraordinary Test innings of 281 in the second innings (following on) against Australia at ఈడెన్ గార్డెన్స్ in 2001, when under tremendous pressure, he broke సునీల్ గవాస్కర్'s long standing record of 236*.^[1] This remained the highest ever by an Indian till it was eclipsed by వీరేంద్ర షెహ్వాగ్'s triple ton against పాకిస్తాన్ in ముల్తాన్ in March, 2004. The innings also contributed to a record partnership of 376 with రాహుల్ ద్రావిడ్. Laxman's performance was of enormous consequence: India had been on the brink of an innings defeat but went on to win the Test and the series, denying Steve Waugh conquest of the "last frontier". It has become one of the most celebrated tales of Indian cricket, and the innings is ranked the sixth best Test innings ever by Wisden Cricketers' Almanack.^[2] Laxman then cemented his place both in the Test and one day teams for a few years. He has continued to perform well against Australia, especially during India's tour of Australia in 2003, in which he hit three ODI and two Test centuries. One of his centuries, his 148 in the second Test at Adelaide, came in a triple century partnership with, once again, Dravid. India won the Test, which was their first Test victory in Australia in two decades. His sublime innings of 178 at Sydney also came in a triple century partnership, on this occasion with సచిన్ టెండుల్కర్. For this reason, ఇయాన్ చాపెల్ described him as Very Very Special Laxman.

[మార్చు] ఇటీవలి Form

However, Laxman's form has declined since that tour of ఆస్ట్రేలియా. Since March 2004, beginning with the series in పాకిస్తాన్, Laxman has only made only three Test centuries, with one of them coming against జింబాబ్వే, currently ranked the worst team in Test cricket. He even struggled against his favorite opponents Australia in the home series in October-November 2004, although his 69 in the final Test at ముంబయి helped India record a consolation victory, having lost the series. Laxman was even dropped after scoring a duck in the first Test against England at Mumbai in March 2006. He regained his place for the tour to the West Indies, thanks to an injury to Tendulkar, and made a hundred in the third Test. In ODI cricket, Laxman has been left out persistently since Greg Chappell took over as coach in mid-2005, mainly on account of his poor fielding, but also a perception that his batting is too one paced for ODI cricket. This is despite his superb form in Australia and Pakistan in early 2004, when he made four centuries in 14 games, including three in a week in the VB Series in Australia. In November 2006, he was selected for the test squad along with సౌరవ్ గంగూలి for India tour of South Africa series.
