Saha scored his maiden Test century at St. Lucia on the tour of the Caribbean; on that occasion, India, having been put in to bat, were at 126/5. Saha combined with Ashwin, had a long partnership. India went on to win the Test He has since added two more centuries and his batting average has more than doubled. Saha's second hundred came when India was against Bangladesh. Saha has played 23 Tests as India's designated wicket-keeper, and his numbers on the batting front compare favourably to some of India's previous wicket-keepers. In terms of runs, only Farokh Engineer (who also opened the innings), MS Dhoni, Nayan Mongia and Rishabh Pant have scored more.
