VVS Laxman introduces 'Best Attitude Award' during Zimbabwe T20I series
Summary

During the ongoing T20I series against Zimbabwe, stand-in coach VVS Laxman introduced the 'Best Attitude Award' to recognize players for their effort and commitment beyond statistics. The first recipient of the award is Tilak Varma, who exemplified intensity both on and off the field. This initiative aims to promote a positive and supportive environment within the team, especially following a challenging period of six consecutive losses for India. The BCCI temporarily assigned Laxman as coach while regular head coach Gautam Gambhir is away, allowing Laxman to implement changes that focus on overall team attitude rather than just performance metrics. India's victory in the series opener marked a positive start under this new initiative.
