Shubman Gill lauded Wriddhiman Saha for his effort and said that it’s great for him that he’s able to share the field with the keeper batter. Speaking at the post-match presentation, he said:
“They were going well in the powerplay but our bowlers bowled well especially Mohit bhai. They restrict their batting lineup to under 180 which was a great effort. Just to be able to share his (Saha) experience, I stand next to him at slip, it is phenomenal with the way he keeps going, he’s been playing since the first IPL season.”
