Laxman stands up for transgenders' cause

Bengaluru, January 10: Cricketers are not just stars on the field accumulating waddles of notes through match fee and endorsements. Many of them are champions of social causes and ambassadors of crusades against evils that gnaw at society.

VVS Laxman, the former India batsman and now a commentator, too showed his commitment to a pressing social call standing up for the equality of transgenders.
