Laxman, who was selected for the series against New Zealand, announced his retirement from international cricket in controversial circumstances.
Sachin Tendulkar, Gautam Gambhir, Zaheer Khan and Virat Kohli attended the house warming ceremony which Laxman hosted at his residence in Manikonda.
The Hyderabadi reportedly picked up his guests from the star hotel where the team is staying and later dropped them back.

Dhoni refused to comment on Laxman’s retirement. “You ask this to Laxman,” said Dhoni when a reporter asked him why Laxman chose to retire. On the day when Laxman announced his retirement, he chatted with some team members but not with Dhoni.
“You know it is not easy to reach Dhoni,” Laxman had commented at the press conference.
Dhoni sought to dismiss this. “You think it’s a controversy but people who know me always complain that I’m someone who is quite difficult to get hold of,” Dhoni said. u00a0
