Coming from a small town called Siliguri in West Bengal, Wriddhiman Saha has made a promising mark on the Indian cricket team. The wicketkeeper-batsman started his journey with under-19 and under-22. He currently leads the Tripura cricket team and is also the wicketkeeper for Gujarat Titan in IPL. When it comes to scoring centuries, he first scored his century during the Caribbean tour against South Africa.
Saha’s ODI debut happened with the Ranji Trophy in 2006/07, but it couldn’t create much impact, and it was just a brief run. However, later in the 2007-08 Ranji Trophy, he scored a brilliant 111* run against Hyderabad. The century helped him get a ticket to the IPL, which KKR bought him in the 2008 IPL season.
