During Wriddhiman Saha’s last first-class appearance, he fell to a 0 run dismissal by Gurnoor Brar when playing for Bengal against Punjab.

The international Test career of Wriddhiman Saha ended when India faced New Zealand during December 2021. The right-handed batter participated in 40 Tests where he accumulated 1,353 runs, maintaining a batting average of 29.41 along with nine one-day internationals.

Saha refused the coaching position the Kolkata Knight Riders extended to him before the new season began. The end of Saha’s playing career triggers memories of his numerous accomplishments in Indian cricket, which will attract appreciation from fans. Saha’s impressive accomplishments as India’s excellent wicketkeeping batter-batsman will forever overshadow his last phase in cricket despite poor results.
