New Delhi: Former India batsman VVS Laxman has revealed that the standing ovation the Indian team received in the Air India flight after the famous Eden Gardens Test win in 2001 vs then world champions Australia was just unbelievable for him.
India's historic win against mighty Australia in 2001 is a part of cricketing folklore and so is Laxman's innings of 281. In 2001, Laxman made headlines after he scored a knock of 281 against Australia at Eden Gardens.
Laxman's knock and the record stand with Dravid, set up a stunning victory for India after they were asked to follow-on by Steve Waugh.
VVS Laxman can be seen having a candid chat with India Today Consulting Editor, Sports, Boria Majumdar in a teaser for the much-awaited episode of India Today Inspiration.
In the 9th episode of India Today Inspiration, Laxman said that he was confident to see through the tough page but the only challenge was not to feel the pressure based on the situation India was back in 2001 against Australia during the Kolkata Test.
"I was confident to see through the tough page but the only challenge was not to feel the pressure based on the situation we were in. One thing which I will fondly remember is once we entered into that Air India flight, the entire aircraft, all the people, all the passengers in the aircraft stood up and gave us a standing ovation and that for me was just unbelievable," Laxman told India Today Consulting Editor Sports Boria Majumdar.
