India's tour of West Indies in 1996-97 was VVS Laxman's second overseas tour, and it came at a time when he wasn't yet an established member of the Indian side. He was a reluctant opener, struggling to come to terms with his position in the batting order, and nevertheless made two fifties in what was a difficult series for India.

Laxman chats about the series with Cricinfo's Sidharth Monga, and tells him that while it was a great learning experience, the hard part of the tour was the Test at Barbados, where India, needing 120 to win, made just 81. Laxman top-scored with 19.
