The Karnataka-born batsman managed to get to his fifty but then was adjudged leg-before-wicket off a Sahu leg-spinner. But the dismissal could not curtail the scoring rate. A few overs later against the run of play, Gambhir skied one in the air and was brilliantly caught by Glen Maxwell in the deep.
