VVS Laxman Record As Head Coach: Team India won by 90 runs in the second T20 played against Zimbabwe in Harare on Saturday (July 25). With this victory the team also captured the series. Earlier, the Indian team had faced defeat in the T20 series on the tour of Ireland and England, when Gautam Gambhir was in the role of head coach. Former Indian player and National Cricket Academy (NCA) head VVS Laxman is with Team India as interim head coach on the Zimbabwe tour.
This is not the first time that the Indian team has won under the coaching of Laxman, it has happened many times before also. His record as a coach is quite good. He has been seen in this role many times in the absence of the head coach. Seeing Laxman’s record, you will obviously forget Gautam Gambhir.
