Much before hitting his "best ever Twenty20 knock" to power Deccan Chargers into the Indian Premier League finals, Adam Gilchrist knew his side would win by six wickets and had written this prediction on a piece of paper on the morning of the semifinals.
'I had a feeling in the morning that we would win by six wickets.'"I had a feeling in the morning that we would win by six wickets. I always back my instincts so I just took out a paper and wrote this. I am quite amazed that it came true," Gilchrist, who smashed a hurricane 35-ball 85 to single-handedly take the match away from Delhi Daredevils on Friday night, told the IPL's official website.
"It is what invokes in us an urge to do better on the field. The beauty is that it makes the performance, whatever that may be, rewarding," the Australian added.
Deccan Chargers finished at the bottom of the table last season but Gilchrist turned it around brilliantly for them this year, leading from the front with some scintillating batting.
