VVS Laxman, the current head of BCCI Center Of Excellence, said he wants players to prepare for various challenges in their careers by adapting to different conditions at the newly-inaugurated facility in Bengaluru.
In Dravid's absence, who tested positive for Covid-19 prior to the team's departure for the UAE, Laxman, who acted as the coach during India's recently finished three-match ODI series in Zimbabwe, will be in charge of the team's preparation.
However, now ex-Indian cricketer VVS Laxman becomes the new celebrity to laud the film for its marvelous cinematography and story.
During the third Test in the ongoing series against England, Ravichandran Ashwin reached the milestone of 400 wickets in the longest format.
Laxman had earlier announced that he would be paying tributes to players who had a rich influence on his career. The tribute to Yuvraj was part of this initiative.
Laxman had earlier heaped praise on Sehwag for his self-belief and positivity and labelled him as one of most destructive openers in the history of the longest format of the game.
The 39-year-old spinner has so far played as many as 103 Test matches and 236 ODIs in which he has 417 and 269 wickets to his credit respectively.
Sehwag, counted as one of the most destructive Test openers to have ever graced the sport, played 104 Tests, 251 ODIs and 19 T20Is in which he scored 8586, 8273 and 394 runs, respectively.
