Saha Brakes MS Dhoni record

Capetown, Jan 09: With the catch of South Africa's Pace Bowler Morne Morkel off Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the second innings of the first Test at Cape Town, Wriddhiman Saha broke the record of the most dismissals in a Test by an Indian wicketkeeper.

He became the first India wicketkeeper to effect 10 dismissals in a Test match, breaking MS Dhoni’s record.



Saha has enjoyed a magnificent time behind the stumps in the Test match. In the first innings, he took the catches of Dean Elgar, Hashim Amla, Faf du Plessis, Quinton de Kock and Kagiso Rabada. He kept well to both pace, spin and his magnificent run continued even in the second innings. Elgar's wicket was taken by Hardik Pandya while Saha once again took the key catches of de Kock, du Plessis, Keshav Maharaj and Morkel to get the perfect 10.

Saha now joins the illustrious Bob Taylor from England and Australia's Adam Gilchrist, both of whom have 10 catches and dismissals in a Test.
