Kolkata: Veteran Indian opener Gautam Gambhir will look to roll back the years following his shock recall for the second Test against New Zealand starting Friday after more than two years in the wilderness.
"Nothing beats playing again for d country. Test cricket, whites, red ball and India cap again," Gambhir said on Twitter after his surprise recall was announced on Tuesday night.
"Excitement of a debutant, certainty of experienced, nervousness of a novice...am feeling it all. Eden here I come loaded with ambitions."
Gambhir, who is 13th on the list of all-time Indian run-scorers in Tests, is guaranteed a place in the starting XI after being called up in place of the injured Lokesh Rahul.
