Shastri's remarks came after Saha delivered an "outstanding performance" against Delhi Capitals for Sunrisers Hyderabad's (SRH) in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 on Tuesday.
Team India head coach Ravi Shastri recently faced a bit of flak on social media after the former cricketer termed wicketkeeper-batsman Wriddhiman Saha as the "best gloveman in the world".
Shastri's remarks came after Saha delivered an "outstanding performance" against Delhi Capitals for Sunrisers Hyderabad's (SRH) in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 on Tuesday.
Taking to Twitter Ravi wrote: "To the best Glove Man in the world. Outstanding performance tonight - @Wriddhipops #SRHvsDC #IPL2020".
HERE IS THE POST:
Soon after this post went up, many fans got into a Twitter spat while questioning "where is Thala Dhoni" ranked in this then?
MS Dhoni has been one of the best wicketkeeper-batsman that India has produced over the years and his lightning hands and smart calls also earned him the reputation for being the best in the business for a long time now.
HERE ARE THE REACTIONS:
On Tuesday, Saha played a scintillating knock of 87 runs from just 45 deliveries, helping SRH post a massive total of 219 runs on the board. SRH then secured an impressive 88-run win in the match as Delhi Capitals were all out on 131 runs.
For SRH, Rashid Khan scalped three wickets while Sandeep Sharma and T Natarajan took two wickets each. However, Shreevats Goswami had come in as keeper in place for Saha as he was unfit.
After the match, skipper David Warner had said that Saha has a little groin niggle.
"Unfortunately, he's (Saha) got a little groin niggle but hopefully, it isn't too bad," Warner had told host broadcaster Star Sports at the post-match presentation.
Also, Saha has been named in India's Test squad that will tour Australia next month.
Team India Test squad: Virat Kohli (Captain), Mayank Agarwal, Prithvi Shaw, KL Rahul, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane (vice-captain), Hanuma Vihari, Shubman Gill, Wriddhiman Saha (wicket-keeper), Rishabh Pant (wicket-keeper), Jasprit Bumrah, Mohd. Shami, Umesh Yadav, Navdeep Saini, Kuldeep Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, R. Ashwin, Mohd. Siraj.
