    What's the story

    Sunrisers Hyderabad will be thrilled to find out that India's Test wicket-keeper, Wriddhiman Saha is now close to gaining full fitness.

    The 33-year-old, who has been one of India's best performers in 5-day cricket, missed the last two Tests against South Africa due to a hamstring injury.

    However, he has recovered well and is raring to get back to the cricket field.

    Quote

    "Will be fit in a few days" says Saha

    "My recovery is in the last leg and I will be fit in a few more days. I am currently at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru and the medical team is assessing my progress on a daily basis," Saha told Sportstar.
