India Vs Pakistan 1st test match
Emerging triumphant on his debut as captain, Anil Kumble said the team performed
well during crucial stages and that proved decisive in clinching the Test.Sachin Tendulkar was unbeaten on a half-century and India chased down a target they had never managed before at the Feroz Shah Kotla with six wickets to spare.A wicket had fallen, Ganguly on 48, with 22 still needed for victory. But there would be no more heroics as Tendulkar too the lead and knocked off the required runs with a minimum of fuss. Equally, it was fitting that Anil Kumble, who picked up seven wickets
in his first match as captain, walked away with the Man-of-the-Match award.Malik responded that they will come back strongly in the second match in kolkata starting this friday, mean while in the practise session malik injured himself while trying his hand playing football.
