India have been found guilty of throwing away winning positions in the recent past on their tours of South Africa and England, mistakes which shouldn't be repeated according to Laxman.
Kohli also does join an elite list which comprises of Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman.
Laxman, in his recently launched autobiography '281 And Beyond', reveals that under the former Australian coach team India was divided into two or three factions and there was a serious trust deficit.
VVS Laxman thanked his wife and family for supporting him unconditionally throughout his career.
Laxman said that his partner and former India batsman Rahul Dravid constantly motivated him through their partnership.
Laxman handpicked his maiden century against Australia at Sydney in 2000 as the best of the lot out of his 17 Test tons.
Prior to the 3-0 whitewash of West Indies, Rohit Sharma led India to victories in the Nidahas Trophy and Asia Cup in UAE as well.
Anyone who has followed Kohli's career would know that it is a mistake to expect the phenomenal class in his batting to bleed into his worldview.
The tell-all book, which will hit the stands on November 19, is co-written by sports journalist R Kaushik.
As Laxman turned a year older today, many of his former teammates took to Twitter to wish the stylish Hyderabadi batsman.
Laxman also asserted that Malik will need to play a major role with the bat if Pakistan are to do well in the tournament.
On IndiaTV's show 'Cricket ki Baat', Virender Sehwag said that the two greats would feel very happy if Kohli goes on to break their records on the current England tour.
This effectively means that the legendary trio would be entrusted with the duty of taking all cricket related policy decisions including the choice of two new selectors.
Other than Kohli, former Team India batsman VVS Laxman and veteran spinner Harbhajan Singh also took to social media, sharing various contacts for people in need.
A number of cricketers used social media platforms to express gratitude towards their nation and countrymen.
Virender Sehwag, Bishan Singh Bedi and VVS Laxman were among those who lamented the lack of fight shown by India in the second Test against England.
Karunanidhi, a doyen of Tamil Nadu and Indian politics, died on Tuesday evening at Kauvery Hospital in Chennai. He was 94.
Rama Rao, son of Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, on Friday had invited the former cricketers and other celebrities to plant the saplings.
Wishes from other ex-cricketers who played under and with him like Mohammed Kaif, VVS Laxman, Pragyan Ojha and others are continuously pouring in.
Laxman said gone were the days when one focused on one skillset adding these days one needs to master the other skills too.
