Saha, playing in his first Test since the pink-ball Test against Australia in Adelaide last year, batted in the first innings on Friday, making just one off 12 balls before nicking an outswinger behind to keeper Tom Blundell, becoming one of the five scalps of pacer Tim Southee. He had kept wickets for 55 overs on day two.
Indian wicket-keeper batter Wriddhiman Saha hasn't taken the field due to stiffness in his neck on Day three of the ongoing first Test against New Zealand on Saturday.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) medical team is treating him and monitoring his progress.
"Wriddhiman Saha has stiffness in his neck. The BCCI medical team is treating him and monitoring his progress. KS Bharat will be keeping wickets in his absence," BCCI tweeted.
