cricketUpdated: Jan 01, 2020 09:17 ISTFormer Indian cricket team fast bowler Ashish Nehra picked teammate VVS Laxman’s 96-run knock against South Africa during the second Test in Durban in 2010 as the ‘performance of the decade’. The innings proved crucial for the visitors as they won the encounter by 87 runs to level three-match series 1-1. “I was torn between between VVS and Nathan Lyon’s 8 for 50 in Bengaluru. Lyon’s was a great performance because it came against Indians batting in India. “VVS’ innings was crucial: it was the reason India could set a formidable target of close to 300 for South Africa to chase.
