Gujarat Titans (GT) wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha wore his pants in the wrong way in a hurry after impact sub confusion in the GT camp moments after the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) openers came out to bat.
For the uninitiated, KS Bharat was walking out for the wicketkeeping duties after Saha’s exploits with the bat in the day game, where he scored 81 off 43 balls. The GT think decided to rest the 38-year-old following his batting heroics.
The on-field umpires, however, quickly intervened and explained to GT coach Ashish Nehra and captain Hardik Pandya that they cannot field a substitute wicketkeeper unless Saha is injured or Bharat is used as an impact player.
Watch the funny video below:
The defending champions, meanwhile, brought in Alzarri Joseph replaced Shubman Gill as an impact player substitute. Joseph was added to the side in place of Joshua Little, who was unavailable due to international commitments.
Wriddhiman Saha, however, looked in discomfort while keeping after a couple of overs. The physios came out to check on him and was immediately taken off the field, with KS Bharat eventually replacing him as a wicketkeeper.
