VVS Laxman :It has been wonderful. I was lucky that the Hyderabad Cricket Association promoted me and Zaki (Syed Moinuddin Zaki) from the under-16 level itself. They made us play in the under-19 grade the same year. It was a huge leap tor us and very encouraging., by 18, I was on the verge of playing for Hyderabad in the Ranji Trophy. Honestly, I feel that all the hard work and commitment! put in from the start of my career have culminated in 16 long years of international cricket. It has been an immensely satisfying feeling to have contributed to Indian cricket in my own way.
SS : Who has been the biggest influence on you ?
VVS : My parents (Dr. V Shantaram and Dr. V. Satyabhama), no doubt about that. Especially, given the fact that sports was never an
integral part of our family. But the guiding philosophy which they taught was handling success and failure with equal ease.
5
SS : What did the sport teach you?
VVS : Character. To treat success and failure on the same wavelength; It also taught me to be very balanced and obviously whatever I am
today 18 because of cricket.
SS : What was the most difficult phase of your career?
VVS : It was when I had to prefer cricket to academics. That was the
toughest moment of my life. Though there was always the dream to
play for my country, I also had a natural desire to be a doctor,
coming from a family of doctors. Luckily, my father gave me the
complete freedom to choose any one of the two. Here the role of
my uncle Baba Mohan was very crucial along with some of the coaches then.
