Ready for T20, says confident Laxman

Hyderabad
Oct. 7: He is regarded as the best in the business and VVS Laxman looks fit and fresh as he takes guard for the T20 test which begins on Thursday in the form of Champions League. The Hyderabadi promises to put up a good show for the Deccan Chargers.
Speaking about his recent stint with Lancashire, Laxman said, “It is always great to play a county season in England as that not only keeps you match fit but gives you useful outing in the middle. They have a great set of boys who get along well and playing is fun.”
Laxman was part of the victorious Deccan Chargers side that won the coveted IPL-2 trophy in South Africa. When asked on the crucial element of that success, VVS said, “It’s a brilliant outfit and what is exceptional about this bunch is that most of them played IPL in South Africa on bouncy wickets. They adapted to those pitches quickly.”
He mentioned that playing in front of the home crowd will work in favour of the Chargers. “We will definitely have a home advantage when we play in Hyderabad. There is no added burden on us at all as we have tasted success and it is only a matter of carrying out the good work done by us in South Africa.”
On the likelihood of opening the batting with skipper Adam Gilchrist, VVS said, “Well, in the first edition of the IPL, I had opened for the Chargers and performed well. I am ready to contribute at any level for the team.”
