When the turn of fielding came, Wriddhiman Saha was not taking the field for wicketkeeping. For this reason, the second innings started late. Maybe he was hurt. There was a long talk between the umpire and Gujarat captain Hardik Pandya about this. Meanwhile, KS Bharat was also standing ready wearing a wicketkeeping kit. The Gujarat team wanted to use him as a fielding substitute in place of the injured Saha. But, the umpire did not approve it.
