"We have been obviously very impressed (with Saha). It
is great to have him in the team. He is a real professional. And he has got
good experience in the IPL and in all (forms) of cricket," Kirsten said at
the virtual-post-match press conference.
Like many players with insufficient strike power skills in
the T20 format, Saha increased his game power against Chennai and helped the GT
give 53 runs.

"He understands his game and plays really well in the
power-play. For us, he was always an important asset to have when we needed him
and he has come in and done really well," said the South African, who has
also coached India in the past.
"I don't think there is any specific (thing) that we
need to say to him (Saha) because he knows how to play the power-play really
well. The most important thing is guys (players) play to their strengths and
abilities. He is a great player of the short ball."

The Gujarat Titans are head and shoulders above the other
teams in the Indian Premier League. Whereas in the past it was their bottom
line that won their crisis games, at the moment it seems that the top line
manages to give the team a consistent start to be great overall.
The win against Chennai is the second in a row for Gujarat,
as they want to secure a playoff victory this season.
