VVS Laxman

"This innings is close to my heart because of the position we were in... It was done in a challenging situation against a top class bowling attack." - On his amazing innings at Kolkata

"Scoring a century against Australia is always satisfying as they have one of the best bowling attacks in the world. It's a great challenge playing against them. They play good tough cricket." - Talking to reporters on
Day 3.

"Well, coming from Hyderabad, Azhar’s influence has certainly been there. But, only where a couple of shots are concerned. It’s a fact of course that, over the years, I often interacted with Azhar." Laxman in The Telegraph on Azhar's influence on him.

 
Peter Roebuck
"Indian middle order batsman Rahul Dravid is the "best suited" among Indian players to play county cricket in Britain." Former Somerset cricket county captain, cricket commentator and writer quoted as saying in the Times of India
 
Sunil Gavaskar

"VVS Laxman's magnificent century should first and foremost clear the doubts in his mind about his ability and place in Indian cricket." - In the Times of India

"One thing the Kolkata Test has done is to give Indian cricket a number three batsman who is comfortable not only against pace but plays spin well too." - On problem's plaguing the number 3 slot in the Times of India.

 
Sanjay Manjrekar
"After Sachin Tendulkar, Laxman is the one Indian batsman who looks relaxed and assured out there. So he had to be brought up from No. 6."- In an interview to The Telegraph
 
Glenn McGrath

"Our team has a great deal of regard for Laxman, especially after the big hundred he got in Sydney last year." - On Laxman's century

"My scoring 21 here stands testimony to the fact that this is an extremely good batting track." - McGrath on the Eden Gardens wicket in his column in the Times of India

"I was just thinking of a Test 50 when Steve got out, just one of those things I guess!" - In his column in the Times of India

 
"Laxman is such a beautiful batsman and, while he did do the job today, he must continue the good work. We’ve got to bat around four (more) sessions." - The Indian coach in The Telegrpah
 

"Laxman’s innings was outstanding. He had batted well in Sydney in the last Test when the Indians were touring Down Under. He seemed to have replayed that innings today." - The Aussie coach told The Telegraph

"I’m not looking at it that way. We’re prepared to win whether it be 400 or 40." - On what target the Aussies would like to chase in The Telegraph
