As far as their cricket careers are concerned, the 36-year-old Manoj Tiwary is no longer in the radar for a spot on the national team. In 12 Tests and 3 T20Is, he scored 302 runs with one hundred and one half-century as well. The ton he scored was against the West Indies back in December 2011 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai as well.

Wriddhiman Saha, on the other hand, was considered one of the best wicketkeepers in India. However, earlier this year, he lost his place on the national team to the young Rishabh Pant who has nearly sealed his place in the Test squad. In 40 Tests and 9 ODIs, Saha has scored nearly 1400 runs which came at an average of 29.41 with three centuries and six half-centuries as well. However, Saha was also an important member of the Gujarat Lions team that won the 2022 Indian Premier League (IPL) as well.
