"I could not sleep last night. I got up at 2.30 am [SA time]. I was excited and my mind was racing. At 3.16 am, I said [to myself] Pragyan is going to be the man-of-the-match. And with three wickets, he came pretty close," Gilchrist revealed after his team's six-run win over Anil Kumble's men. Kumble bagged the man-of-the-match award for his four-wicket haul.
