Gujarat Titans wicketkeeper-batter Wriddhiman Saha forced captain Hardik Pandya into taking a Decesion Review System (DRS) call during the IPL 2023 game against Punjab Kings on Friday.

Saha's insistence at taking the review helped the side dismiss PBKS' star batter Jitesh Sharma. The incident happened on the third ball of the 13th over when Jitesh got a faint edge of Mohit Sharma's delivery, and Saha took an easy catch.

While the umpire and the bowler remain unmoved, Saha kept insisting for the review. While Hardik took the review, the GT skipper wasn't too confident either about the decision.
