Five Indians who made Australia their bunny

#4 VVS Laxman

VVS Laxman scored heavily against Australia

VVS Laxman had one of the most gifted wrists in the cricketing world. The way he used his wrists to manoeuvre the ball and find gaps was simply sensational. Laxman had a special liking towards Australia. He scored a majestic 281 (in the 2nd innings) in the famous Kolkata Test which helped India win the match after following-on.

Among all the teams that he played against, Laxman averaged the most against Australia in ODIs. Out of his six ODI centuries, four came against them. In the 2003/04 Tri-series, he scored back-to-back hundreds (103* and 106*).

Having scored more than 31% of his ODI career aggregate runs against Australia, he made them a bunny of sorts and tormented them across formats.

Matches - 21, Innings - 19, 50s - 2, 100s - 4, Runs - 739, Average - 46.19, Strike-rate - 77.09, Highest Score - 106*
