But he made his case stronger with a brilliant double hundred to help Rest of India beat Gujarat in the Irani Cup recently.Saha was part of the Test squad that played the one-off Test match against Bangladesh in June 2015. Asked about the Bangladesh team, he said, "They have done well against us in the past in the shorter format. But going by our recent form, I feel India will be favourites against any team at home. "Although he will be going into the Test match days after playing the T20 format, Saha felt that will not hamper his preparation for the match. What is important is getting some useful match practice," Saha added.
