Known for his exceptional glovework behind the stumps, he became a key figure in India’s Test side after MS Dhoni’s retirement. Saha’s career was largely defined by his wicketkeeping prowess rather than his batting.
Wriddhiman Saha retired from all forms of cricket on February 1, 2025.

Saha began his domestic career in 2007, debuting in First-Class and List A cricket against Hyderabad and Assam, respectively.
