Visitors sweat on Gambhir's fitness

Colombo, July 26 -- Despite the Indian team the most of the opportunity to use the wicket next to the centre wicket at the Sinhalese Sports Club on Sunday, a day ahead of the second Test, Gautam Gambhir preferred to knock a few balls in the nets outside the ground. Murali Vijay, the reserve opener in the squad, however, batted in the middle of the ground for almost two hours. Even coach Gary Kirsten spent a good amount of time with the Chennai batsman during his long stint in the middle. That was the first indication that Vijay could replace Gambhir on Monday if the southpaw's right knee keeps on troubling him. "As far as injuries is concerned, Gautam is having a niggle with his left or right knee, I am not hundred percent sure which one," said skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni. "We will take a call maybe in the evening or before the game."
