Batting great V.V.S. Laxman on Friday shared a memorable photo on social media where he is seen meeting former South Africa President and anti-apartheid hero Nelson Mandela in 1996.

"Found this fond 1996 memory of meeting the great #NelsonMandela who was & continues to remain an inspiration. Despite enormous hardships, 27 years in prison & going through unspeakable levels of cruelty, the grace with which he lived, teaches us to remain joyful in every situation," Laxman said in a tweet on his official Twitter handle.
The photo with the tweet saw Nobel Peace Prize laureate Mandela shaking hands with Laxman. The picture also has Sourav Ganguly and Sachin Tendulkar in it.
