‘When someone says “I think your time’s done”, it can be hard’: Karthik offers support to India senior after Test drop
Ajinkya Rahane, Cheteshwar Pujara, Wriddhiman Saha, and Ishant Sharma were excluded from the squad for the two-Test series against Sri Lanka. The exclusion of wicketkeeper-batter Saha raised certain eyebrows and the player’s comments following his exclusion ignited controversy in Indian cricket.
Saha had stated that he was assured of a place by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) President Sourav Ganguly after his half-century knock against New Zealand in November. Two months later, he was told by Rahul Dravid that his selection in the Indian team is unlikely in the future.
With the veteran wicketkeeper-batter unlikely to make a return in the near future, fellow India wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik lauded Saha on his contribution to Indian cricket and offered his support to the senior player after his unceremonious ouster.

Gambhir acknowledges that his “sole regret in seven years of captaincy” is Suryakumar Yadav: “KKR failed to recognise his potential.”
Throughout his incredible career with the Mumbai Indians since 2018, Suryakumar Yadav has become a household name. He has established himself as a vital member of the batting lineup and is seen as the team’s future leader. He was able to establish himself in the Indian white-ball team and get to the top of the IC batting rankings in the format because to his valiant efforts at MI. But before he was let away, Suryakumar was a member of the Kolkata Knight Riders lineup from 2014 to 2017. When former captain Gautam Gambhir reflects on the two IPL titles won by KKR during that time, he named the star player from India his greatest regret.
KKR featured Suryakumar Yadav from 2014 to 2017.
In 2012, Suryakumar began his IPL career with the Mumbai Indians, appearing in just one match before being cut loose the following year. He was signed by KKR in 2014, and he won the championship in his first campaign there. The right-handed batter scored 608 runs in 54 games during his four-year tenure with the team, although the majority of those runs were scored as a lower middle order hitter.
In an interview with Sportskeeda on Monday, Gambhir said that his biggest regret as KKR captain is that he failed to recognise Suryakumar’s ability or his ideal batting position in the lineup.
Finding and showcasing the greatest potential is the responsibility of a leader. If there’s one thing I regret from my seven years as captain, it’s that neither I nor the squad were able to fully utilise Suryakumar Yadav. And combinations were the key to the cause. At No. 3, you may only play one person. As a leader, you also need to consider the other ten players in the starting lineup. Although he was just as excellent at No. 7, he would have been far more effective at No. 3, he said.
Gambhir went on to praise Suruyakumar for being a team player, citing the reason behind his appointment as the team’s vice-captain in 2015.
He was a team player as well. A good player may be anyone, but becoming a team player takes skill. Playing him at No. 6 or 7 or benching him, he was constantly grinning and eager to contribute to the squad. He went on, “That’s why we named him vice captain.”
