With India taking a 1-0 lead in the ongoing Test series by winning the second Test, leg-spinner Anil Kumble said the hosts would keep the pressure on Pakistan in the third and final Test in Bangalore to bag the series.

Stating that he was a lot disappointed to see the Mohali match slipping out of hands, Kumble said it was satisfying to snatch a convincing 195-run victory in Kolkata.
Ably assisted by Harbhajan Singh, "we kept the pressure on them from both ends and it worked," Kumble, who put up his best ever performance at Eden with a seven-wicket haul in the second innings, said.
Asked about the first ball-dismissal of Younis Khan, he said the delivery was not a pre-planned one. "I did try to keep the ball in leg-middle position. The ball drifted away and (Dinesh) Kaarthick did an excellent stumping."
Kumble said he was looking for a similar performance in his home town Bangalore, the venue for of the Test, beginning on March 24.
