Gautam Gambhir goes out at 65 – Cricket News Update
With session 2 on its way, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/G-Gambhir-c1447, has made his long walk to the pavilion after scoring 65 runs, leaving batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar to accompany veteran Rahul Dravid, during the ongoing second Test match between the
Men in Blue and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760, at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata, on November 14, 2011.
The bout began after the Indian Skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Fidel-Henderson-Edwards-c57010 and Skipper
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJG-Sammy-c1382.
Offering a stable start to the Indian hosts, the side’s batting pair took no time to settle in after the duo trailed on to producing some fine batting work, stalling the Men in Blue opening session past the ten over mark.
Unfortunately for the openers, India suffered its first knock at the top order, after the Caribbean Skipper, Sammy, managed to secure Sehwag’s wicket, after being caught out by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AB-Barath-c886, after scoring 38 runs off 33 balls, with the aid of 8 boundaries.
Following the opener’s dismissal, Gambhir was joined in by veteran batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/R-Dravid-c2229, alongside whom the newly formed pair managed to lead the side till the closure of the first session, and by now the Men in Blue had scored 132 runs with a loss of a
single wicket, in 28 overs, with Gambhir earning his half century worth 57 runs while Dravid retaining his mark on 33 runs.
With Windian roster bringing in some major changes on the bowling line-up, the Indian batting resumed play, scoring some occasional runs for the side, while for Gambhir, the opener managed to hold his ground strong, but failed to go on after Windian speedster
Edwards forced the batter to make his eventual departure at a fine total of 65 runs off 103 balls, including 8 impressive boundaries.
The batsman marked his dismissal after being caught out by Barath, leaving http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Tendulkar-c2556 to take over his spot – as the whole nation looks upon the batting guru to earn his 100th century milestone.
