Indian wicketkeeper batsman Wriddhiman Saha is going to end his career of 17 years. He will say goodbye to cricket at the end of the ongoing Ranji Trophy season.
This experienced cricketer has played 40 Tests for India. He announced his retirement in a social media post. Currently preparing for Bengal's fourth round match against Karnataka. Joined Bengal after playing the role of player-mentor for Tripura for two years. Before that, he met former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly. He returned to Bengal on his advice.
In a social media post, Riddhi wrote, 'This season is going to be my last in an unforgettable journey in cricket. I feel honored to be able to represent Bengal for the last time this season before retirement. Now I want to make this season memorable.'
After Mahendra Singh Dhoni's retirement from Tests in 2014, Wriddhiman Saha was the team's first-choice wicketkeeper. Last played for India in 2021. It was then that he was informed by the Indian team management that the team no longer wanted him. Rahul Dravid was the head coach then.
At that moment, Rishabh Pant's appearance basically complicated the situation. After that he continued to play as the second choice keeper.
He may not be seen in the upcoming auctions in the IPL either. Played in every edition before that. Recently played for Gujarat Titans. For whom he won the title in 2022. Before that he played for Kolkata Knight Riders, Chennai Super Kings, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Punjab Kings. He gave a memorable century in the 2014 final for Punjab. Even after that, his team was the runner-up.
