Bengal stalwart Saha, who scored over 16000 runs in his career combining Tests, ODIs, List A, First Class and T20 cricket, shared an emotional message expressing his gratitude to his family, the various teams he represented throughout his career, and the support staff who aided him over the years.

In a heartfelt post on social media, Saha reflected on his remarkable 28-year career. He described representing his country, state, district, clubs, university, college, and school as the greatest honor of his life. Saha had previously signaled his intention to retire at the beginning of the current season.
He played 40 Test matches for India and was highly regarded as the nation’s premier wicketkeeper in the longest format of the game. However, his career trajectory was somewhat hampered by his batting, which never quite reached the level of contemporaries like MS Dhoni, whose career saw a meteoric rise during the same period. Following Dhoni’s retirement from Test cricket, Saha finally secured a regular spot in the playing XI, but his tenure was relatively short-lived as the selectors and team management opted to accelerate the development of Rishabh Pant.
