Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], June 13 (ANI): Despite the defeats in the opening games, former India and Bengal wicketkeeper-batsman Wriddhiman Saha, who has joined the Servotech Siliguri Strikers as a mentor for the second season of the Bengal Pro T20 League, is confident in team putting up a good show.
While the Siliguri Strikers women's team lost the match by 8 wickets, the men's team also lost by four wickets in their match against Adams Howrah Warriors.
Despite not securing victories in either match, the Servotech Siliguri Strikers showcased tremendous determination and high morale, indicating their preparedness for future challenges.
'Yes, the results in the first matches didn't go our way, but the effort and intent have been top-notch. We've worked really hard as a unit, and the energy in training, the strong team bonding, and the hunger to bounce back give me full confidence that the Servotech Siliguri Strikers will rise to the occasion and show what we're truly capable of as the tournament progresses,' said Saha after the match.
A stalwart behind the stumps in 40 Tests, 9 ODIs, and 255 T20s, Saha is guiding both the men's and women's squads. He is also advising Servotech Sports on talent development. Saha expertise will be important as the Servotech Siliguri Strikers looks to go one step ahead in the second season.
