Wriddhiman Saha who had already made headlines today with blistering 20-ball half century against the Lucknow Super Giants was yet again in the news. Eventfully, Saha wore his pants the other way round as he went out to field against LSG in their IPL encounter taking place in the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

Fans were quick to click snapshots of Saha’s wardrode malfunction and post it on social media. The photos have already done rounds with fans reacting plentifully. The day seems to belong to Saha with the media unable to take their eyes off the wicketkeeper batter. Even star Indian batter Virat Kohli took to Instagram to appreciate Saha’s fiery knock.

Indian Cricket Board was urged to include Wriddhiman Saha in Test Championship squad

On the way to his 20-ball half-century, social media was inundated with pleas for the Indian Cricket Board selectors, who said it was the ideal opportunity to choose Saha as KL Rahul's replacement for the injured match against Australia in the Test Championship final. Dodda Ganesh, a former India bowler, was one of the first to tease the idea.

Rahul, who suffered an injury playing for the team against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) a few weeks ago, was formally declared out of the current IPL 2023 earlier this week. The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) reported on Friday that "further tests and scans have unfortunately confirmed a significant tear to Rahul's tendon which will require surgery." He is now officially out of the Test Championship final as well, leaving India with just KS Bharat as their only available wicketkeeper.

While Indian Cricket Board relied on Ajinkya Rahane for the Test Championship final due to his expertise, the selectors may also take Saha into consideration for the same reason, albeit as a backup option. The IPL 2023 wicketkeeper-batter has been in fantastic form, and his 43-ball 81 on Sunday helped him reach 273 runs in 11 innings.
