It is time for India to maneuver away from Saha at the same time as a backup keeper, he’s one of the best “wicket-keeper” however it’s time to give that backup choice to KS Bharat or somebody to arrange for the Sri Lanka Test sequence.

Waiting for KS Bharat, this might show to be his final Test match in whites for Team India.
There isn’t any manner for Rahane to play the following Test. Kohli for Rahane and probably KS Bharat for Saha.

Saha, who’s considered one of many best keeper in India’s home circuit, has all the time performed a second position. Early in his profession, he was MS Dhoni’s backup, and as soon as the previous Indian captain retired, Saha grew to become the first-choice keeper. But with Rishabh Pant rising as flamboyant, he once more needed to again down.
