Laxman Sivaramakrishnan, an 18-year-old cricket prodigy who stunned Javed Miandad and demolished England, vanished from the sport at age 20. He displayed early brilliance, spinning Tamil Nadu to victory at sixteen and taking seven wickets in an innings against Delhi at eighteen. Despite being hailed as a future star by legends like Gavaskar and Kapil Dev, a shoulder injury at twenty marked the end of his promising Test career.
