#2 Wriddhiman Saha

Wriddhiman Saha is almost at the end of his International career. The talented WK-Batsman from Shaktigarh could never really find his place in the Indian ODI squad mainly because of the omnipresence of MS Dhoni. Now, Rishabh Pant has burst to the scene and is the favourite to start.

The 34-year-old made his ODI debut for India against New Zealand on Nov 28, 2010, and played his last ODI against Sri Lanka on Nov 09, 2014. In all, Saha only managed to play 9 ODIs for the Men in Blue – averaging just 13.67 and scoring at a strike rate of 73.21.

On the other hand, he has always been an important part of IPL and played in 115 matches. The veteran IPL player scored an overall 1679 runs with an average of 24.33 and strike rate of 129.85. The glovesman does, however, have a decent Test career with India and also became the first Indian wicketkeeper to take 10 catches in a single match.

The Right Handed Batsman has donned the jerseys of Kolkata Knight Riders, Chennai Super Kings, and Kings XI Punjab and will now be seen in the colours of Sunrisers Hyderabad for IPL 2019.

Saha was picked up for ₹ 1.20 crore by the Sunrisers and will look to make an impact for them in order to have a shot at representing India at the World Cup.
