Wriddhiman Saha was told by Team India coach Rahul Dravid that his international career might be over, the senior wicketkeeper-batsman was hurt.

Chennai Super Kings batter Ambati Rayudu caused quite a stir on Saturday as he first tweeted that the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season would be his last in the tournament. However, an hour later, the tweet was deleted and it was CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan who clarified that Rayudu would not be retiring and will remain with the franchise. A day later, CSK coach Stephen Fleming talked about the issue during a press conference held after the match between CSK and Gujarat Titans, which the former lost by seven wickets.
Gujarat Titans mentor Gary Kirsten on Sunday heaped praise on Wriddhiman Saha, saying the wicket-keeper batter understands his game really well and is "great" against the short-ball. Gujarat Titans rode on Saha's solid 67 not out to tame Chennai Super Kings by seven wickets and book their place in the Qualifier 1. Saha scored an unbeaten 67. "We have been obviously very impressed (with Saha). It is great to have him (Saha) in the team. He is a real professional. And he has got good experience in the IPL and in all (forms) of cricket," Kirsten said at the virtual-post-match press conference.

Chennai Super Kings captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni admitted that opting to bat first in their IPL match against table toppers Gujarat Titans was not a good idea as his side lost by seven wickets here on Sunday. Already out of contention for a play-off berth, CSK suffered their ninth loss of the season to remain rooted in ninth place in the standings. "Batting first wasn't a very good idea. It was tough to hit the faster bowlers in the first half, spinners-wise it was similar," Dhoni said at the post-match presentation.

Wriddhiman Saha's solid 67 not out after a top-class bowling performance set up Gujarat Titans' seven-wicket win over Chennai Super Kings in the IPL on Sunday, securing a top-two finish in the team standings. Gujarat bowlers put up a clinical show to restrict CSK to a below-par 133/5 despite a fine half-century by Ruturaj Gaikwad. Saha, who struck eight boundaries and a six in his 57-ball knock, anchored the chase nicely to get Gujarat home in 19.1 overs. While CSK were already out of the play-off race, the win for Gujarat guarantees them a top-two finish on the points table in their debut season, providing them with two opportunities to reach the final.
