Quote

Gautam Gambhir (Man of the Match) - "It was crucial to win the game today especially after the loss in the last game. It was important to hold our heads and bat right through to chase it down. Luckily it was me today and I am happy with the batting. Robin has been batting really well and we weren't thinking of taking too many risks at the start. We gave a few many runs at the death but these things happen. Overall, happy with the comeback and hope it continues.'
