It has been raining here heavily for the past few days and according to a Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC), official the conditions are likely to continue till Sunday.
The Eden track is likely to turn and the Knights would have to depend on their spinners. It would be interesting to also see if Gambhir takes the bold decision of selecting chinaman tweaker Brad Hogg over an off-colour Sunil Narine.
