IND vs SA: Saha breaks Dhoni record
Saha's effort is the joint-second best in the Test history. He joins England's Bob Taylor (vs India, Mumbai 1980) and Australian Adam Gilchrist (vs New Zealand, Hamilton 2000) who each took 10 catches. Jack Russell of England (vs South Africa, Johannesburg 1995) and South African AB de Villiers (vs Pakistan, Johannesburg 2013) occupy the top spot with 11 dismissals, all catches, to their name in one Test.
India’s Wriddhiman Saha broke the record of the most dismissals by an Indian wicketkeeper in a Test match. Saha snapped up 10 catches in the contest which took him past the record of nine dismissals set by former captain MS Dhoni against Australia in Melbourne in December 2014. While Saha's dismissals were all catches, Dhoni's included one stumping.
Overall, Saha's effort is the joint-second best in the Test history. He joins England's Bob Taylor (vs India, Mumbai 1980) and Australian Adam Gilchrist (vs New Zealand, Hamilton 2000) who each took 10 catches. Jack Russell of England (vs South Africa, Johannesburg 1995) and South African AB de Villiers (vs Pakistan, Johannesburg 2013) occupy the top spot with 11 dismissals, all catches, to their name in one Test.
