"Gautam Gambhir is fit to play and we are hoping he fires at the top tomorrow," Kirsten said.

Visiting pacer Zaheer Khan, who claimed four Lankan wickets in the second game, will also be fit to play on Sunday.

"Zaheer is having a niggle in his legs but he will be fit for the match," Kirsten informed.

The former South Africa opening batsman is also happy that the newcomers like Virat Kohli and S Badrinath are proving that they can deliver at the international stage.

"We are discussing various things like new comers in the team and the way they have played. It augurs well for Indian cricket. These young lads like Virat Kohli and Badrinath are able to deliver," he said.

Kirsten said the team think tank will have a look at the pitch on Sunday before deciding on the playing XI.
