Description: After being the backbone of the Indian middle order for over a decade, Indian batting legend VVS Laxman bids an emotional farewell to international cricket. VVS surprised his fans and supporters by announcing his retirement with immediate effect, choosing to skip the two-match series against New Zealand. The ace cricketer reportedly chose to retire after facing immense pressure from various quarters over his poor performance against England and Australia in his previous two outings. VVS Laxman announced his retirement after consulting with his family, friends and coaches. The 37-year old made his Test debut in 1996 against South Africa and had since then been a stalwart of the Indian batting line-up, scoring 17 centuries and 56 fifties.
