Andrew Symonds was one of the most interesting and aggressive character on the field. He played each and every game with a lot of intensity and had quite a competitive spirit. His all-round ability played a pivotal role in Australian team’s success in the early 2000s. Laxman was a fellow member of Symonds when they both represented Deccan Chargers in IPL.
Laxman expressed his sorrow with a tweet but used a wrong emoji. Later, after the mistake was pointed out by the netizens, VVS Laxman apologizes for using the emoji. As Laxman posted his Tweet, the fans noticed that he used an emoji which stands for ‘Tears of Joy’. The former Indian cricketer got a lot of replies pointing out the same and VVS Laxman admitted his mistake.
