Colombo: Here's some good news for Delhi Daredevils. Their skipper Gautam Gambhir and fast bowler Ashish Nehra have both been declared fit.
The Daredevils duo had travelled to Colombo for treatment at the hands of a reputed Sri Lankan Ayurvedic physician. The treatment was administered at the request of Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa.
The Delhi Daredevils players met Rajapaksa at his residence on Monday prior to their departure for India after recovering from their injuries sustained during the ongoing Indian Premier League 2010.
Gambhir and Nehra were treated by Eliyantha White on Rajapaksa's request. "Gambhir and Nehra thanked President Rajapaksa and Dr. White for their speedy recovery," a release from the Presidential Secretariat said.
"The two players also thanked Sri Lankan cricketer Tillakaratne Dilshan, who is now playing in the IPL, for recommending treatment in Sri Lanka and making arrangements for it through the President," it added.
Gambhir suffered a hamstring injury during Daredevils' first home game against Mumbai Indians, while Nehra has been suffering from a rib injury he picked up during training.
Incidentally, master batsman Sachin Tendulkar has also been successfully treated for a sports injury by Dr. White at the request of Rajapaksa.
