“Saha is such a good keeper, this was a difficult catch but he took it easily” – Twitter reacts after Wriddhiman Saha takes a brilliant catch behind the stumps to dismiss Ben Stokes

Gujarat Titans’ captain Hardik Pandya won the toss and invited Chennai Super Kings to bat first in the tournament opener, which is currently being held at the world’s largest cricket stadium, Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

Chennai Super Kings struggled to produce a start in the initial couple of overs as Devon Conway failed to bring the best out of himself. The southpaw was clean bowled by veteran paceman Mohammed Shami in the second ball of the third over.

However, Moeen Ali played a superb cameo and helped the team get off to a good start. He chipped in with a flurry of four boundaries and a six at a terrific strike rate of 135.29 before he was dismissed by Rashid Khan.

Wriddhiman Saha takes a brilliant catch behind the stumps to dismiss Ben Stokes

Gujarat Titans’ wicketkeeper, Wriddhiman Saha has been sharp and decisive behind the stumps. At first, he took a sharp catch to dismiss the dangerous Moeen Ali off Rashid Khan’s bowling.

After that, he went on to take another razor-sharp catch to dismiss Ben Stokes off Rashid Khan’s bowling. CSK’s top-signing Ben Stokes had a bad day at the office as he scored seven off six balls including one four.

It wasn’t that easy catch but Wriddhiman Saha made it look so. However, Ruturaj Gaikwad chipped in with a supreme batting masterclass as he scored a blazing-fast fifty off just 23 balls. At the time of writing this article, CSK posted 125/4 in 14 overs.
