Veteran India wicketkeeper and team's oldest player Wriddhiman Saha didn't take the field at the start of Day Three in the first Test against New Zealand due to a stiff neck.

Saha, 37, has endured either freak on field injuries or fitness concerns over the years. Playing in place of the rested Rishabh Pant, Saha scored only 1 in the India innings and has not been in best of form for quite some time now. Srikar Bharat took the field in his absence.
