Saha hits 20-ball ton for club

Kolkatta: Wriddhiman Saha geared up for the upcoming IPL hitting 14 sixes in a 20-ball hundred during a T20 inter-club game on Saturday.

Saha scored an unbeaten 102 off 20 balls while chasing down a target of 152 in only seven overs.

He was playing for Mohun Bagan against Bengal Nagpur Railways in a J C Mukherjee Trophy game at the Kalighat ground here.

His innings had 14 sixes and four boundaries apart from two singles. Saha finished the match in the seventh over hitting medium pacer Aman Prosad for six sixes.

However, the over yielded 37 runs as he bowled a wide delivery. The final six brought up the India Test specialist’ hundred.

“I could feel from the first ball that I was able to hit the ball in the middle and I went for it,” Saha told reporters.

“Not sure of this being a record, but looking into the IPL, I tried to play different shots and it worked.” Saha does have an IPL hundred.
