Wriddhiman Shah performed brilliantly in IPL-2022 and scored 317 runs with the help of three half-centuries. He was a player who played an important role in the success of the Gujarat Titans team.
The Indian cricket team is currently on a tour of England where they have to play a Test match. Team India has been announced for this match. There is a player who did well in IPL-2022 and he was hopeful that he would be selected for the tour of England but it did not happen. The name of this player is Wriddhiman Saha. Saha was part of the Gujarat Titans team that won the IPL and played brilliant innings as an opener. Saha hoped that he would return to Team India on the basis of this performance, but when this did not happen, Saha’s pain was felt.
Saha has said that he does not think that now he will be able to play for Team India again. Talking to Sports Tak, Saha said, “I don’t think I will ever be able to get selected in Team India going forward because the coach and the chief selector have told me about this. And if they had to choose me, after my performance in the IPL, I would have been in the team for the England tour. So this decision is clear to me and it means that there are no more options for me at this point of time. I am more focused on playing cricket. As long as I love the game, I will keep playing.”
IPL was like this
Saha was not fed by Gujarat in IPL-2022 in the initial matches. When Matthew Wade failed, Saha was given a chance. He played 11 matches this season and scored 317 runs at an average of 31.70. During this his strike rate is 122.39. Saha hit three fifties in this IPL season. He has been one of the key reasons for the success of Gujarat Titans. Gujarat had bought him at the last minute in the IPL mega auction and this team’s bet also worked.
There is news of joining Tripura
Saha also got into controversy in the Bengal cricket team and hence he did not play in the knockout rounds of Ranji Trophy this season. He has severed his ties with the Bengal cricket team. Now there are reports that he may join Tripura. Saha is in talks with Tripura for the role of a player cum guide. This information was given by an officer. This official had told news agency PTI, he wants to play the role of a player cum mentor for Tripura. He is in talks with some members of the Apex Council in Tripura but nothing has been decided yet. First they have to get no objection letter from CAB and then from BCCI (Cricket Board of India), then only this process can proceed.
