With Saha doing great in IPL 2023 and averaging 52.16 for Tripura in Ranji Trophy, many felt he would have been the ideal fit as KL Rahul’s replacement in India’s World Test Championship final squad

Wriddhiman Saha
On Sunday, in the Gujarat Titans-Lucknow Super Giants match at the Narendra Modi Stadium, openers from both teams scored half-centuries. But undoubtedly, Wriddhiman Saha continued his Powerplay brilliance since last year’s IPL by smashing a dazzling 81 off 43 balls.
With the ball coming nicely on to the bat, Saha was effortlessly toying with the lines and lengths of Lucknow’s bowlers, especially of Avesh Khan and Mohsin Khan, making 54 out of the hosts’ 78 runs in the Powerplay, bringing up his fifty in 20 balls and setting the base for Gujarat to bat Lucknow out of the game.
