IPL 2021: MS Dhoni first and now Rishabh Pant have been ‘villain’ of Wriddhiman Saha’s career

Both Dhoni and Pant are in fact captain of their respective Indian Premier League (IPL) sides – Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals. MS Dhoni’s CSK will be up against SRH next in the IPL 2021 on Thursday (September 30) evening in Sharjah.

Sunrisers Hyderabad wicketkeeper batsman Wriddhiman Saha hasn’t been able to find a permanent spot in the Team India line-up through his career. Saha made his India debut more than 10 years back in 2010 in both Tests and ODIs but his career has always been spent playing second fiddle – first to MS Dhoni and now to Rishabh Pant.

Over the course of the last 11 years, Saha has managed to appear in only 38 Tests and 9 ODIs for India. Saha’s Test average remains a modest 29.09 although he has three centuries to his name. The early part of his career coincided with Dhoni – who was back then the captain of the Indian side and led India to the T20 and 50-over World Cup apart from the ICC Champions Trophy in 2013.
