India's star batter Rohit Sharma is quite clear when it comes to choosing the best wicketkeeper this country has ever seen. He has played with one of the best wicketkeepers like MS Dhoni, Rishabh Pant, and Wriddhiman Saha, and of all these, there is one clear winner when it comes to wicketkeeping skills.

A video had gone viral on social media where Rohit is explaining why, as per him, Wriddhiman Saha is the best wicketkeeper of India.

“We have played so many Tests together. I’ve stood next to him in the slip cordon. I’ve taken catches (with him wicketkeeping), and he’s taken plenty (of catches) in front of me, but I have never seen a wicketkeeper like Saha," Rohit is heard as saying.

“He is India’s best wicketkeeper – there’s no doubt about it. My words won’t change anything, but if you’ve watched us play Test cricket, you’ll know exactly what I mean," he said.

Saha played his debut Test match in 2010, and in his 11-year-long career, he has played in 40 matches, where he has taken 92 catches and has done 12 stumpings. He has also played in 9 ODIs, where he has taken 17 catches.

But his career was affected by MS Dhoni's rise in all formats. When Dhoni was inching towards the fag end of his career, Pant became his successor.

Saha was the senior wicketkeeper, but Pant's aggressive style meant that he became the preferred option for this role. At one point, Saha was their preferred choice for wicketkeeper in home conditions, whereas Pant was preferred in overseas conditions.

He has played 25 of his 40 Tests in India.

Rohit also talked about how Saha used to keep wickets brilliantly against bowlers like Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin.

“In India, the ball spins sharply and often keeps low. To keep wickets in those conditions and stay focused throughout is incredibly difficult. Jadeja bowls fast, Ashwin is immensely skilful – bowling from the top, bowls the carrom ball, sometimes even he doesn’t know what’s coming out. And Saha has caught all of that," he added.
