Wriddhiman Saha reveals what Sourav Ganguly told him

Wriddhiman Saha recently revealed that he had received a message from BCCI president Sourav Ganguly after scoring a game-saving 61 not out in the first Test against New Zealand at Kanpur.

“After scoring 61 against New Zealand at Kanpur, Dadi (Ganguly) congratulated me over WhatsApp and mentioned, ‘As long as I’m here (helming the BCCI), you would be in the team’. Such a message from the BCCI president really boosted my confidence. What I’m struggling to understand is that how things have changed so fast,” Saha told The Sunday Express, hours after the team selection announcement.

India take on Sri Lanka in a two-Test series with the first match slated to be played in Mohali from March 4. The second Test is scheduled to be held from March 12 at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
