Adam Gilchrist played the role of a mentor to perfection when,instead of blaming Piyush Chawla for conceding 27 runs in the 19th over,decided to praise Robin Peterson whose innovative switch-hits got MI back in the game. A reverse sweep,switch hit,slog to the boundary. I think we should celebrate positive cricket played by Peterson, Gilchrist,who is currently out with a hamstring injury,said. Defending stand-in captain David Husseys decision to use Chawla in the 19th over,Gilchrist said he bowled very well in the first three overs. When you are in an important situation,I am sure every captain will go to his best bowlers, he said. Gilchrist said that Chawla was disappointed and he had a chat with him. He has a good record in the tournament and I told him he needs to look ahead, he said.
