Dinesh Karthik compares Pant to Dhoni, years old pain came to the fore, sympathized with Saha

Indian wicket-keeper batsman Dinesh Karthik has praised his fellow player Wriddhiman Saha. Karthik has said that Saha has been a part of India's Test team for a long time. He has served the nation for years in the longest format of cricket. Karthik has described Saha as one of the best wicketkeepers in the world. Saha is not part of the Indian team for the Test series against Sri Lanka starting on March 4. He has been dropped from Team India and there is no possibility of Saha's return in the coming times as well. Along with this, he has compared Pant to Dhoni.

After being dropped from the Indian Test team, Saha had said that the team's head coach Rahul Dravid had advised him to retire. There was a lot of talk after this statement of Saha and Dravid said that he had clarified everything in front of Saha. They didn't want to deceive anyone. Pant is India's first choice as a wicketkeeper and the team wants to prepare a young wicketkeeper as his substitute.

Karthik is the best wicketkeeper in the eyes of Karthik

In a video of ICC Review, Karthik said, "Credit to Wriddhiman Saha. I think he has been one of those servants of Indian cricket who has done well for years. He is still one of the best wicketkeeper in the world." I consider him to be the best wicketkeeper in the world. He has great hands, his feet behind the wicket. He is a great wicketkeeper. Also he has scored some centuries in international cricket and played some great innings. When India needed him the most."

Saha has played 40 test matches for India and scored 1353 runs. This includes three centuries and six half-centuries. At the same time, he has taken 104 victims behind the wicket.

Like Dhoni, Pant made it to the team

Karthik further said, "Just like Dhoni had made his place in the team at that time, so Pant has cemented his place in the Indian team over the years. In such a situation, Saha automatically became the second wicketkeeper. He stayed with the team. And playing a couple of matches, but you can see that Pant has established himself. So the team wants to have some young wicketkeeper as his replacement.

Two wicket-keepers are needed on a long tour

Dinesh Karthik said that it is necessary to prepare someone or the other. So that he can keep keeping when Pant is not there. Two wicketkeepers are often needed on long tours. So I can understand in which direction the team is going. Karthik sympathized with Saha and said that no cricketer likes to be told that you will no longer be kept in the team. With this, he said, "We all want to play for the country. In such a situation, whenever someone says that your time is over it can be difficult to accept it, but you should understand what the selector, coach and captain are." thinking."
