Wriddhiman Saha feeling more confident after wicket-keeping for Rashid Khan

Rashid Khan is one of the most feared bowlers in the world. He is one of the most experienced bowlers in the T20 format, as he plays in the leagues all over the world. Batsmen all over the world, are finding it difficult to pick him. Similarly, it is difficult for the wicket-keepers to pick Rashid Khan, but Wriddhiman Saha is relishing the challenge.

A new challenge for Wriddiman Saha

Wriddhiman Saha admitted that it is tough to keep for Rashid Khan as he turns the ball at pace, but keeping against him has helped him build confidence. “After a long time, I’m getting an opportunity to keep a bowler like Rashid. It’s a good experience, he has got pace and turn” Saha said as quoted by Sportskeeda

Saha argued that although he has kept wickets for some quality spinners, keeping for Rashid Khan has given him more confidence. “In recent times, I’ve been keeping against the likes of Ashwin, Jadeja, Mishra or Kuldeep. Now after keeping against Rashid, I’m more confident,” he said of Rashid who was retained by SRH at this year’s auctions for Rs 9 crore using right to match card”

Saha praised Rashid Khan

The Indian wicketkeeper said that Rashid Khan bowls very well in the T20s. He argued that he does not try to try to keep wickets for particular bowler but he is trying to do his best.

Saha further said that Rashid’s pace variations make it difficult for batsmen to read him. Rashid has a lot of variations up his sleeve, and his quick action increases the difficulty for batsmen.

“It’s mostly about his pace variations. He bowls leg spin and mixes it up with a lot of googlies. With such a quick arm action, it’s very difficult for batsmen to read them. You can say that as his strength,” Saha added.

Sunrisers Hyderabad has started the season brilliantly as they have won their first three matches to sit on the top of the table.
