Kolkata: KL Rahul has adapted to his role as Indian wicketkeeper, says Wriddhiman Saha.
Control of the Indian team trusted Rahul to make the stump paintings in cricket limited due to the past and with MS Dhoni calling at the time of his overseas career last Saturday, chances are that the Karnataka cricketer will continue to make the paintings with Rishabh Pants as well. in the fray with Sanju Samson.
“He (Rahul) doesn’t do a bad job. He does well with the bat and the stumps. It fits well, we’ve noticed it in New Zealand,” Saha, 35, told IANS in an exclusive interview here.
“He is also a very intelligent drummer and has worked hard to maintain it. This bodes well for the Indian team,” added the Indian team’s stayer check.
About Dhoni, Saha said his retirement had been a little surprising, but that it was still at stake given that the iconic former captain had been absent from the attack since India lost to New Zealand in the semi-finals of the 2019 World Cup.
“He (Dhoni) is a legend on and off the field. He never made a predictable decision. I’ve noticed it positive and there’s never been a negative bone in his body.”
“It was a little surprising. But Dhoni and (Suresh) Raina were not in contact with foreign cricket. So it wasn’t out of nowhere. People were guessing, now it’s clear,” Saha said.
Saha’s debut in India in 2010 – in a test opposed to South Africa in Nagpur – the only time in foreign cricket where he and Dhoni were components of the same XI.
“I learned a lot from him. We also had conversations about the door and the game in general,” said the Bengal stumper who played 37 tests and nine ODI for India.
Saha will depart for Mumbai on Wednesday to enroll with teammates Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). The team plans to depart for the United Arab Emirates on 23 August to participate in the 13th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), which begins on September 19.
When asked if he had had a net education during the employer closure period, Saha replied: “No, I didn’t. I’ll go get something when I get to the United Arab Emirates because we’ll have time. Here I may not take any dangers because I have two young people at home and it is not safe. Besides, there’s a lot of stalls in Calcutta for as long as I can go. There is also an uptick in the COVID-19 instances and we also have patron closure days,” he concluded.
