IPL 2022, GT vs CSK: Saha ensures a top-two finish for Gujarat Titans

Wriddhiman Saha was told by Team India coach Rahul Dravid that his international career might be over, the senior wicketkeeper-batsman was hurt. But instead of sulking over it, the Bengal player did his best to channelize it in a direction that would go a long way in helping Gujarat Titans clinch a top-two berth in the IPL table.

Maintaining his consistent run in the tournament so far, Saha's unbeaten 67 off 57 balls against Chennai Super Kings on a Wankhede pitch where the ball was stopping a bit ensured that debutants Gujarat Titans will get two cracks (if necessary) to make the final.
