It feels great that I finished the game," Gambhir said after being named as the man of the match for the Kolkata contest. It was a brilliantly paced innings by the left-hander who added 224 runs with Virat Kohli (107) for the third wicket to put India's chase back on track.

  1. Yes it is true wht gautam has said bcoz it was time when the two of the best players of indian team had returned to pavillion. So there was huge pressure on gautam and virat but they played a superb knock under the circumstances wherein srilanka had a upper hand.... Keep going mr gambhir......

  2. I feel its true. It was gambir's best knock i ever saw. He started off slowly with virat kholi taking charge to the bowlers. Later on gambir started to hit the ball well. Its a great win for India because youngsters won the match for India without any contribution from experienced players
