In the first innings of the Kanpur Test, the last four India batsmen scored 51 runs. Shepherding India’s tail, for the next few years at least, should fall on the shoulders of R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja or Saha. In terms of importance, Saha’s innings on Saturday stands right up there with the century hit in St Lucia. And New Zealand were looking hostile as long as they were bowling bouncers to Saha and Jadeja. By the time Shami was bounced out, Saha had achieved what he was seeking --- taking India past the psychological barrier of 300 runs.
