Wriddhiman Saha ticks all boxes as a wicketkeeper against Punjab Kings
Meanwhile, Gujarat Titans’ wicketkeeper, Wriddhiman Saha made the headlines for his exceptional performance behind the stumps against Punjab Kings in the ongoing match in Mohali.
Wriddhiman Saha ticked all boxes as a wicketkeeper as he hit the bull’s eye to run out Rishi Dhawan. Besides that, he took a good catch behind the stumps to dismiss Jitesh Sharma.
On the other hand, Saha and Miller combined together to run out Shahrukh Khan. Saha was also spot on with the DRS call and has well and truly had a remarkable day at the office against Punjab Kings. Some fans are of the opinion that Saha should at least deserve a place in the Indian Test team.
Punjab Kings’ playing XI: Prabhsimran Singh, Shikhar Dhawan (c), Matthew Short, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Sam Curran, Shahrukh Khan, Harpreet Brar, Kagiso Rabada, Rishi Dhawan, Arshdeep Singh
Gujarat Titans’ playing XI: Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, Hardik Pandya (c), David Miller, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Alzarri Joseph, Mohammed Shami, Mohit Sharma, Joshua Little

Saha is so underrated, great job Wriddhi
Titans have a knack for finding under appreciated players that play well above their market reputation/ perception
