IND vs SA, 2nd Test: Saha Credits 'Bowling Trio' For Brilliant Wicket-Keeping Performance

Wriddhiman Saha credited  bowling trio Umesh Yadav, Ishant Sharma and Mohammed Shami for helping him during the practice

Team India defeated South Africa by an innings and 137 runs in the second Test in Pune to clinch the three-match series 2-0. Virat-led India broke Australia's record for the most consecutive Test series wins at home and will look to continue their winning run in the final Test at Ranchi, starting October 19. Wicket-keeper batsman Wriddhiman Saha, who lost his place in Indian test squad due to injury, made a remarkable comeback. The 32-year-old was brilliant behind the stumps during the second Test vs Proteas. Even skipper Kohli hailed Saha after end of the match and said, "Saha was back to his best". Wriddhiman Saha credited  bowling trio Umesh Yadav, Ishant Sharma and Mohammed Shami for helping him during the practice. "Actually prep-wise, Umesh, Ishant and Shami bowl at me, and we practice that way, they give me some really good practice with the moving ball," Saha said. "Our trainers help us out with stretches, ice-baths, and we are trained for the match-day really well, so credit to them for my fitness as well as my wicket-keeping performance," he added. Umesh Yadav was all praise for Saha after India won their second Test against South Africa "I think I should treat him for those wickets down leg-side and that first catch, and I think they are Saha's wickets," Umesh said in a post-match interview.
