Scorecard - Kolkata Vs Punjab


Gautam Gambhir (Man of the Match) - 'It feels great and I think this luck is due to my newly born daughter. Things have been looking great ever since. It is glad to score runs and with Uthappa playing the way he is, lot of pressure is taken off us. Morkel bowled a superb spell while Chawla has bowled brilliantly. It's nice to contribute to the team's success and hope it continues."

George Bailey: They summed up the conditions better and used them better as well. There was a bit of moisture early and our batters struggled. They used the slow balls better at death as well. The way they started the innings was very smart as well.
