Saha repeatedly denied her request, leading to a charming moment that was captured by his wife. Wriddhiman Saha is one of the finest Indian wicketkeepers and has an illustrious career for Indian whites. The Bengal player has also done a prominent job for the domestic side.

Posting the video, Wriddhiman Saha’s wife, Romi Mitra, captioned it on Instagram, “A sweet conversation between Wriddhi and Anvi.

Wriddhiman Saha's career

He made his debut in 2010 but truly came into the spotlight after MS Dhoni stepped away from Tests. From 2015 to 2019, Saha became India’s go-to wicketkeeper in the longest format. He played 40 Test matches, scoring over 1,300 runs, including three centuries. While his batting was steady, it was his wicketkeeping that stood out.

His quick reflexes, clean catches, and sharp stumpings made him one of the safest hands behind the stumps. Saha didn’t get many chances in ODIs due to heavy competition. In the IPL, though, he made a mark; his unbeaten century in the 2014 final remains a highlight.

In domestic cricket, he was a pillar for Bengal, scoring over 7,000 runs and earning deep respect for his consistency and skill.
