Mumbai: Gambhir’s absence in 3rd test against Sri Lanka can put India in trouble. The third test is going to be very crucial for the team India to win the three test match series.
Ghambir, who will not be playing the third test due to his sister’s marriage which is going to held on the second day of the test match.
Skipper M.S Dhoni, in this regard reacted, “It’s difficult to say how much the team will miss Gambhir. There are times when you have to adjust to situations. These are things we cannot do much about.”
Gambhir, these days is very much in form, hitting four centuries in a row in his last four Tests, including knocks of 114 and 167 in the current series. It was his vital 233-run opening partnership with Virender Sehwag in the second Test which laid the platform for India’s massive victory.
In the absence of Gambhir, the reserve opener Murali Vijay, will be opening for India with Sehwag,who has played only one Test, against Australia in November last year.
