Vangipurapu Venkata Sai Laxman (born November 1, 1974, in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India), sometimes shortened to Venkatsai Laxman but generally known as V.V.S. Laxman (nicknamed Very Very Special Laxman), is an Indian cricketer. Laxman represents Hyderabad in domestic cricket and has played for Lancashire in Engl...ish county cricket. He was the captain of the Deccan Chargers team in the Indian Premier League in its first year before being replaced by Adam Gilchrist for the next year.

Laxman bats right-handed and occasionally bowls off-spin. He is noted for his superb timing and the ability to hit against the spin, reminiscent of his role model Mohammed Azharuddin. Laxman is particularly noted for the skillful use of his supple wrists, which allow him to flick the ball to various places, but usually through the leg side. This also helps in his catching, and he in stationary catching positions, typically fields the slips cordon or in a bat pad position.

Laxman is noted most for his batting against Australia, in both tests and one day internationals. As of February, 2010, he has scored 6 out of his 16 test hundreds, and 4 out of his 6 ODI hundreds against Australia. He has two double-centuries in tests, both of them against Australia: his personal best of 281 at Kolkata in 2000–01, and 200* at Feroz Shah Kotla in 2008–09.
