Indian fans got some good news on the eve of the World Cup final with Gautam Gambhir being declared fully fit. There were concerns over Gambhir's fitness after he had to leave the field during the semi-final against Pakistan at Mohali.
If Gambhir had been declared unfit it would have been the second blow for India within 24 hours with experienced pacer Ashish Nehra being ruled out because of an injured finger. The Delhi speedster has had previous instances of injury as well but his recent injury during the semi final means that Dhoni will have to choose from Zaheer Khan, Munaf Patel and S Sreesanth. If India go in with three pacers on Saturday, then all of them will play, but if they decide to play two pacers, then it will be a toss-up between Sreesanth and Munaf for the second seamer's spot.
