VVS Laxman is asked about reports or claims that Team India players are using private trainers. In his response, he says it is the first time he has heard of such an arrangement.

The outlet reports this exchange as a clear reaction to the question, without adding specific details about who the private trainers are or when any change in training arrangements took place. While the question suggests scrutiny of how players are coached, Laxman’s answer focuses on his own awareness rather than providing evidence or context for the situation.

Both accounts center on the same moment: the reporter raises the issue of private trainers, and Laxman replies that he has not previously encountered the claim. Neither source discusses broader implications, player confirmations, or statements from team management or coaching staff.
