Wriddhiman Saha wants to represent India in all formats of the game but the test wicketkeeper is not losing any sleep over his lack of opportunities in limited-overs cricket, the 35-year-old told Reuters in an interview. Wicket-keepers rarely get much attention purely for their glovework but Saha enjoyed rare acclaim during India\u2019s home test matches against South Africa and Bangladesh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His smart work behind the stumps lent credence to Virat Kohli\u2019s \u201cbest in the world\u201d assessment and a series of acrobatic catches prompted Twitter users to dub him \u201cSuperman Saha\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere\u2019s no secret, it just seems to everyone that I have become more agile. Since the time I started playing cricket for my club, for my state Bengal, I was probably the same.\u201cI have probably taken many catches in the past similar to those that are being praised currently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think anyone is satisfied playing just one format,\u201d Saha said. \u201cIt\u2019s always more pleasing when you get to represent India in all formats as a player.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBut I want to focus on the opportunities I am currently getting and if I get a chance to play other formats I will definitely give my best to do well in those.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After making his debut in 2010, Saha played only three tests until the end of 2014 with his path mostly blocked by then captain and wicketkeeper Mahendra Singh Dhoni.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
