The veteran Indian wicket-keeper batsman, Wriddhiman Saha is celebrating his 35th birthday on Thursday. He recently came back to the international cricket in the recently-concluded Test series against South Africa after a gap of almost two years. Saha was out of action due to a shoulder injury for more than a year.
On Wriddhiman Saha’s 35th birthday, his fans flooded Twitter with birthday wishes. Manoj Tiwary, who last played for Kings XI Punjab in last year’s Indian Premier League (IPL), took to Twitter to extend birthday wishes to Wriddhiman Saha. Tiwary tweeted, “Many many happy returns of the day 2 our Superman behind d stumps @Wriddhipops Keep up d gud work. Hav a great year ahead wit loads of success nd happiness. May God bless u always”.

Just out of his maiden 1st class season, he kept effortlessly to the likes of Shoaib Akhtar & Ajantha Mendis. There are few who match his talent & technique & fewer still with his amazingly positive attitude.

Saha, who had a successful return to international cricket, had the backing of the Indian skipper, Virat Kohli before he took the field in Vizag for the first Test against South Africa.

Ahead of the first Test, Kohli said, “Yes, Saha is fit and fine to go. He is going to start the series for us. His keeping credentials are for everyone to see. He has done well with the bat whenever he has got a chance. It was unfortunate that he was out with an injury. According to me he is the best keeper in the world. With these conditions he starts for us.”

Saha repaid the faith shown in him by the Indian skipper by taking spectacular catches behind the stumps. India defeated South Africa 3-0 to clean sweep the Test series and extend their lead at the top of the ICC World Test Championship points table.
