I am 100 pc fit,thats why I am playing

Kolkata Knight Riders captain Gautam Gambhir insisted that he has completely recovered from the concussion he sustained during the recent tour of England even though he was out for a duck in his IPL teams loss to Somerset in the Champions League Twenty20. I am 100 per cent fit and that is why I am playing, he said in the post-match press conference after Knight Riders lost to Somerset by five wickets on Sunday night.

Gambhir,who didnt compete in the events qualifying stages due to the concussion,said his team would look to rectify the mistakes made in the match against Somerset.The way they batted in the first six overs,it took the game away from us. But I think we did really well to take the game to the last over. So,there are a lot of positives from this game. Hopefully,we dont make the same mistakes that we made earlier. Hopefully,we will try and come back hard, he said.

Meanwhile,Somerset captain Alfonso Thomas expressed happiness over his teams winning streak. Hyderabad has become home away from home. It has been good for us to win three games it is good, he said.

Asked if he still considered his team to be underdogs as he did earlier,Thomas said he prefers it that ways as the pressure is easier to handle. We believe we can win. Like I always said we respect the opposition but we dont fear anybody. Obviously,we play to win, he said.
