In the second innings, Saha took another five catches to dismiss Elgar, Du Plessis, De Kock, Keshav Maharaj and Morne Morkel. In the process, he surpassed MS Dhoni’s 9 dismissals to become the record holder for the most number of dismissals by an Indian keeper in a single Test.

India lost the game but Saha added a record to his name. Along with Adam Gilchrist and Bob Taylor, Wriddhiman is joint second in the list of the most number of dismissals by any wicket keeper in a single Test.
