Sheer hardwork that brought Rahul Dravid close to Sachin Tendulkar, says VVS Laxman

Laxman said that Dravid and Virender Sehwag had the maximum impact in India’s away victories.

“Every player had their space. And, I feel anyone who had great impact in India’s performance overseas was Viru (Virender Sehwag) and Dravid,” said Laxman.

The man, who played one of the most defining innings in Indian Test history — an epic 281 against Australia at Kolkata, termed it as a byproduct of the situation.

“Milestones are by product of the situation you are in. What you do under pressure is what matters. My 281 may be remembered by all for that innings helped India beat Australia, but I have played many other meaningful innings in which my score may not be in hundreds,” Laxman stated.
