While talking about Saha’s performance in the match against Royal Challengers Bangalore on Thursday, Tendulkar said that his flow was affected because he was not getting much strike.

“Wriddhiman Saha is an underrated player. I rate him highly because he is a dangerous player. Can play shots everywhere against spinners and fast bowlers, but initially, his flow was affected because he couldn’t get much strike. When a batter is playing well, it is important for him to take more strike, but he didn’t get it as much as he would have liked to,” Tendulkar said.

Notably, Saha got run out after scoring 31 runs in the match against Faf du Plessis-led Royal Challengers Bangalore, where GT lost the game by 8 wickets.
