Wriddhiman Saha’s neck injury may solve a couple of headaches for the Indian team management, who have to make the tough call of either dropping out-of-form senior pros Ajinkya Rahane or Cheteshwar Pujara for the second Test against New Zealand at Wankhede Stadium starting tomorrow.

Wicketkeeper Saha suffered a stiff neck during the drawn Kanpur Test recently. Although Saha scored 1 and 61 not out, substitute ‘keeper KS Bharat was called upon after Saha hardly kept in the first innings and did not take the field in the second.
