“I’ve always maintained T20 cricket has to be played that way, and we will play that way. High risk, high reward, high risk, high failure, and we will continue to play that way.

“That’s how we want to play, entertain the people of this country, and even in Test cricket, we want to keep making the game go forward, and try to get the results in whatever situation we are in,” said Gambhir in a pre-series press conference.

“I had said in Chennai that we want to be a team that can make 400 runs in a day and bat for two days to draw. That’s called growth.

Gambhir was confident in his wards’ ability to tame any situation without sacrificing the team’s motto of pushing the limits.
