Mumbai: Indian Wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha has now 100 dismissals in Test format. He is the fifth Indian wicket-keeper to achieve this feat.
He got his 100th scalp in the ongoing Day-Night test between India and Bangladesh at Eden Gardens, Kolkata.
Saha today kept very well. From the start of the day when the pink ball was used by Indian seamers, it was swinging well and it also was nipping and getting some late swing. The ball that could have gone to the boundary was stopped by this man. Especially, the wicket of Mahmudullah, when the ball got the edge it was moving to the right and at the same time, it was dipping. He made a full stretch of his right hand to grab that ball. Saha today indulged in two dismissals one of Shadman Islam and another of Mahmudullah.
“Wriddhiman Saha takes an exceptional catch! The India wicket-keeper has now crossed 100 dismissals in Test cricket. Bangladesh is in deep trouble as they lose their sixth wicket,” ICC tweeted.
