The skipper is also hopeful of a turnaround in fortunes very soon and was dejected about the fact that the showers affected three of their games. “Unfortunately we had two rain-interrupted games apart from the washout where you can’t do much about it. We need points for us to stay strong on the table. We still have a few more games to go, hopefully we can turn it around,” said Gambhir, who scored 12 runs with the willow.
