The 33-year-old surpassed former India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who had claimed nine dismissals in a Test match against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) in 2014.

He achieved the feat on the fourth day of the match.

Saha took 10 catches – five in each South African innings – to take his number of dismissals to 85, which includes 10 stumpings.

He also eclipsed Farokh Engineer’s record of 82 dismissals to become the fifth most successful Indian wicketkeeper
