The veteran keeper, Saha revealed that he was having his food as he was asked by his physio to have some medicines.
“I told the umpires that you are having the needling session, but they didn’t allow me to keep”, said Bharat.
“I was eating my food and the physio said I need to take my medicine too. So I had to wear my pants in a hurry and it was worn the other way around. After two overs I returned and you did a wonderful job”, Saha revealed
