Getting out on 97 in the World Cup finals still hurts my heart - Gautam Gambhir

Kolkata. The sorrow of missing out a century in the World Cup final still makes the vice-captain of the Indian cricket team Gautam Gambhir sad.

Gambhir said that, "When my innings started, I didn't thoughtof it. But as I got step by step closer to it, my uneasiness kept on rising. Due to excessive nervousness, I was out 3 runs short from a dream century. Now, I feel that I have missed a very precious and great

thing."

It is a fact that Gambhir played an awesome innings of 97 runs in the ICC Cricket World Cup final match against Sri Lamks, which held on 2nd April, 2011. But he missed his century by

just 3 runs.

Just before the start of the England tour of India, Gambhir told to media that he will badly miss Virender Sehwag on ground in this tour. Gauti further told that he feels very relaxed and comfortable when he is batting with Sehwag.

"I really enjoy batting with Sehway. With his explosive baating from one end, he uplifts the pressure from his batting partner on the other end. When he is with me, I play my natural game. A lot of my big innings have come only because of Viru," Gambhir said.

Gambhir came to Kolkata for taking part in the 'Kaun Banega Crorepati' (KBC) based Bengali game show, hosted by the former Indian Cricket team captain Sourav Ganguly.

Gambhir, who was unable to go on the current West Indies tour due to a back injury said, "I am preparing myself for the upcomig England tour. This will be very important for me and I dont' want to have any deregulation in my preparation. I expect that I will give my best in this tournament."
