Gambhir, who is the Orange Cap holder and Man-of-the-Match, said that it was very important win today. “We are on the road. During the toss as I said, we wanted momentum. Early wickets set the game up for us. I thought it was a 170 wicket,” said the KKR skipper.
“ It was a beautiful wicket to bat on. It was just the matter of seeing off the new ball and taking it on. We wanted to ease Narine into the tournament. They lost 3-4 wickets and he had no pressure on him. He is going to be our trump card and will be lethal when he go back home,” said Gambhir.
