Gambhir Said "I am back at my full fitness and feeling fresh both physically and mentally. The pain that I had in my shoulder is gone."
India opener Gautam Gambhir should be fit to bat on the final day of the first Test against England if required, team manager Anirudh Chowdhary declared at the end of the penultimate day's play at Lord's on Sunday.
Gambhir was hit on his left elbow by a full-blooded sweep shot by England’s centurion Matt Prior while fielding at forward short leg.
Gambhir did not come out to open Indias second innings giving the place to Rahul Dravid.
There was some more good news for India concerning Sachin Tendulkar and the perceived slow over rates of the Indian team which if otherwise could have resulted in a ban for skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni ahead of the second Test at Trent Bridge.
Tendulkar apparently is on his way to recovery from the viral infection that stopped him from fielding for 215 minutes during England’s second innings.
