Saha revealed a WhatsApp chat with the journalist on Saturday night, where the concerned journalist stated that he doesn’t take insults kindly. While it has shocked the entire Indian cricket fraternity, Sehwag has now come out in support of the cricketer.

Taking to Twitter, the former Indian opener wrote:

Meanwhile, Saha has been hogging the headlines for the last couple of days after it was reported that he has skipped the ongoing Ranji Trophy being informed that his services are no longer required for international cricket.

The wicket-keeper from Bengal was eventually left out of the Test squad for the two-match Test series against Sri Lanka, with KS Bharat making it to the team as the second wicket-keeper.

When asked about the same in the press conference, Chetan Sharma said:

Wriddhiman Saha last played when India locked horns with New Zealand last year in a two-match Test series.

“Rahul Dravid suggested that I think about taking retirement” - Wriddhiman Saha

The 40-Test veteran was bullish about his chances after his gritty 61-run knock against New Zealand in Kanpur, battling an injury.

However, things have changed lopsided in the last couple of months. Saha revealed that head coach Rahul Dravid suggested that he should consider taking retirement.

He added:

Wriddhiman Saha has scored 1353 runs in 40 Tests, including three centuries and six fifties. He has also affected 12 stumps and grabbed 92 catches.
