 New Delhi: Finally some good news is coming Indian cricket team's way. Gautam Gambhir, whose fitness was under the cloud after a head injury, while attempting a catch during the Oval Test, has cleared the MRI scan. He is fit to play against England in the ODI series.
Among batsmen, Rohit was the most impressive while Raina was the most brittle, which is hardly surprising since he scored only 105 runs from the four-Test series at an average of 13.12. Sharma hit massive sixes with utmost ease and one such hit drew a handsome clap from Fletcher in appreciation.
Young Ajinkya Rahane and Varun Aaron, who were chosen as replacements for injured Virender Sehwag and Ishant Sharma, were yet to arrive in England. The ground offers sufficient inspiration for the visitors. Ranjitsinhji, Nawab Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi and Eknath Solkar had a long association with this county.
