Profile :

At his sublime best, VVS Laxman is a sight for the gods. Wristy, willowy and sinuous, he can match - sometimes even better - Tendulkar for strokeplay. His on-side game is comparable to his idol Azharuddin's, yet he is decidedly more assured on the off side and has the rare gift of being able to hit the same ball to either side. The Australians, who have suffered more than most, paid the highest compliment after India's 2003-04 tour Down Under by admitting they did not know where to bowl to him. Laxman, a one-time medical student, finally showed signs of coming to terms with his considerable gifts in March 2001, as he tormented Steve Waugh's thought-to-be-invincible Australians with a majestic 281 to stand the Kolkata Test on its head. But even though he had another wonderful series against the Australians in 2003-04 with two centuries, one of them involving a back-from-the-dead, match-winning, 300-plus partnership with Kolkata ally Rahul Dravid at Adelaide, he hasn't quite managed the consistency that could have turned him into a batting great. Between dazzling and sometimes workmanlike hundreds, he has suffered the frustration of numerous twenties and thirties and has lost his place in the one-day side. Nothing, though, has deterred him from tormenting his favourite opponents with silken strokes and piles of runs: in the course of the double-hundred at Feroz Shah Kotla in 2008, he became the second Indian batsman after Tendulkar to score more than 2000 runs against the Australians.

hi laxman, i am very big fan of you. all the best for this time, i hope you rockkkkkkkkkkk

Hi Laxman. Do not lose hope. Such a stylish player like you should not lose confidence. Hoping to see you play in the next match. Key tip please play your natural game. Wish u could open again. It will be awesome to see u and Gilly opening. A very formidable pair. If u are low in confidence think of your mammoth knock of 281, 148, 124*( vs NZ). It should boost ur confidence. Stick to ur natural game. Hoping to see u play.

Lax, T20 has a place for classy players like you. Tired of seeing others slog. Common buddy, you are better than what we've seen so far. Good luck!

taurosam

VVS bro, I was very surprised to see the battin thus far from you, maybe I'm as surprised as your amazing series in Oz land where you turned the Ozzies on their heads, well, to tell you the truth, we're spinnin on our heads now. It hasn't been a brilliant season so far but wish that you would show your hyderabadi wristy magic again, no matter what you'll always be V.V.Special. Go get them champ

VVS, I hope you read this someday. I felt real bad when you werent playing today against the Delhi Daredevils. I just hope you stay positive, and continue your magical strokes that you use to play over the last decade, i want to win matches because the 2020 format is all about stroke play an im certainly missing it. I hope you continue your clutch performances like the time you hit the beautiful hundred in Lahore, If Chargers advanced to the next round, the team will definitely need you. See you back on the starting 11 soon, stay up, and continue the magic.

hai laxman,this is the theory, iam giving to you dont go for others words
just be a good leadership man ,we all know that 20-20 is a shorter version
game ,just take burden of your team mate on you ,like when he is not
getting runs you should make runs,if he is not bowling well you should
give him confidence for bowling yorkers.

DeccanChargersA...

hey laxman!i know how u must be feeling after ending up in the last position but its ok.we know u can do it in the next match.there are some ppl who were blaming u for the losses.but we true fans know that ur in no way responsible for it all alone. i guess ur the one who selected such awesome players. we know that DECCAN CHARGERS are going to win in the next season of ipl.deccan chargers are still the best.

rahulramki

Just... pleading to save our face from Royals, Kings, Devils, Riders etc... etc..

ramu347

IF YOU ARE WELL ITS BETTER FOR U TO PLAY IN THE REMAINNING MATCHES.
WE NEED A WIN FROM U.

Biksham

Dear laxman
Please win match for us and give more enthusiam for new players

ramu347

I hope you can come back in this first ipl 20-20 if the team enters semifinals.
D.C should win all the remaining 5 matches(delhi,mumbhai,punjab,royal chalance,chennai) with better run rate.
STILL THERE IS CHANCE FOR THE TEAM TO ENTER THE SEMIFINAL.

ALL THE BEST FOR THE SEMIFINAL MATCH.

srinath parichi

batting order for delhi match bowling order should be
venu sanjay bangar -first 3overs
laxman afridi -first 3 0vers
bangar vijay kumar -first 3 overs
gibbs rpsingh -first 3 overs
gilchrist afridi -second spell
afridi sanjay bangar-second spell
raviteja sarveesh kumar-4 overs

srinath parichi

for delhi match,openers should be venu and laxman,because you have to
take less risk against mcgrath and mahroof.play just diffence or rotate
the strike,if you manage 10runs for first four overs that is good enough.

srinath parichi

you have to playshots in first six overs.atleast 50/1.send afridi and venu and
tell them to pull the shortlength balls and drive the good length balls.

srinath parichi

laxman you have to do something special for the next match,sewag and gambhir
are the dangerous batsmen ,so you have to pick their wickets,there is a techniue
for both of them to pickup wickets,for sewag just bowl yorker.he will be frustated
and will give his wicket.for gambhir bowl short length balls he will try to pull,keep
three fielders in leg side.

srinath parichi

hai laxman, how is your wrist.i hope you will play in next match.

ramu347

SELECT THE BEST TEAM WITH delhi.

ramu347

WITH CHANGING THE TEAM COMPOSITION D.C CANNOT WIN THE REMAINING MATCHES.

ramu347

IF AFRIDI HAS PLAYED WITH kokata THEY WOULD NOT HAVE SCORE 200 RUNS.
AFRIDI CAN BOWL BETTER THAN STYRIS.
ITS BETTER TO TAKE AFRIDI THAN STYRIS

ramu347

CHAMARA SILVA IS THE BETTER OPTION THAN GIBBS

ramu347

TAKE CHAMARA SILVA INTO THE PLAYING TEAM.

ramu347

FROM OUTSIDE PLAYERS AFRIDI,GILCHRIST,CHAMARA SILVA ARE THE BEST OPTION TO TAKE INTO THE PLAYING TEAM.
OTHER PLAYER CAN BE EITHER VASS OR STYRIS OR GIBBS.

ramu347

If the team wins all the remaining 5 matches then team gets 14 points.
Other team also may stop winning at 14 or 12 points.
based on points or runrate D.C can enter the semifinal.
SO STILL THERE IS CHANCE FOR THE TEAM TO ENTER THE SEMIFINAL

ramu347

The team coposition was not good from the starting of the tournament.
Its better the team to be
1. Gilchrist
2. Afridi
3. Laxman/venu
4. Sharma
5. Ravi Teja
6. Chamara Silva
7. Bangar
8. styris
9. RP Singh
10. Ohja
11. Vijay Kumar or Sarveesh Kumar

ramu347

change the team composition from atleast next match

ramu347

ALL THE BEST FOR THE MATCH WITH delhi

ramu347

BAD FIELDING HAS LOST THE MATCH WITH kolkata

ramu347

The team coposition was not good from the starting of the tournament. gibbs should be replaced with chamara silva.
Its better to have team like this
1. Gilchrist
2. Afridi
3. Laxman/yadav
4. Sharma
5. Ravi Teja
6. Chamara Silva
7. Bangar
8. styris
9. RP Singh
10. Ohja
11. Vijay Kumar or Sarveesh Kumar

sridhar ramakrishnan

hi lax,
dont worry mate we are with you and ur team.dont press the panic button.
with positive persons like GILCHRIST around, things are bound to turn around.

a good fielding side is the sign of a well knit team

every one should look deep within themselves and look where they can improve to contribute for the betterment of the team. when i say every one i mean the whole DC franchise. we should start now .. to do well in the future.

all the best and get fit soon, DC needs you!!!

ramu347

its better to send afridi as opener

ramu347

if you can play the match with delhi
team can win the game easily.

ramu347

WINNING REMAINING 5 MATCHES WITH BETTER RUNRATE MAY GET CHANCE TO ENTER INTO THE SEMIFINAL.

ramu347

NOW IT IS DIFFICULT TO ENTER INTO THE SEMIFINAL.

Nani08

hey lucky(srry abt da nick i've given u) neve mind but da team is not quite balanced.... we ofcoz have a good lukin battin order but da mistake we do is we completely rely on our battin order n dont have much bowlin attack.... i play a lot of futball n in terms of futball we undoubtly got gud offence but lack defenders....
hope u understand what i meanna say, tym to get chaaminda back in attack wid R.P , kalyan, ojaha, n styris or afridi, but yeah den gibsy or afridi or styris would have to sit...... but for team u wld have to choose 1.....
n newaz best of luck for today!!!!!!!!
Da Whole hyderabad is wid u irrespective of ur victory or defeat......

ramu347

ALL THE BEST FOR TODAY'S MATCH WITH kolkata

ramu347

I hope u are playing today's match

ramu347

its better to get chamara silva into the team

ramu347

ramu347
