India wicketkeeper batsman Wriddhiman Saha claimed he was threatened by a journalist after he did not respond to requests for an interview. Taking to Twitter, the 37-year-old -- who has been a backup for Rishabh Pant in recent times -- shared a screenshot of the "threatening" messages sent to him.

“After all of my contributions to Indian cricket... this is what I face from a so called “Respected” journalist! This is where the journalism has gone,” Saha tweeted.

This is most probably Boria Majumdar. He is the one who types 'you' as 'ypu' in anger or excitement. He has tweeted 'ypu' many times recently as well. https://t.co/Xh95iuxy83 pic.twitter.com/i6MSYSIue9

Others urged Saha not to take the threat lightly.

"Omg. He is threatening you. Please do not let him off lightly," tweeted user Meghna Girish who goes by the handle @megirish2001.

Another user Makarand Waingankar (@wmakarand) commented, "It's terrible. Have you informed BCCI which takes care of present and past cricketers? It's a serious matter and should be investigated."

Earlier this month, Saha quashed rumours of his retirement. He had taken a break after a long time on the road and his decision to skip the Ranji Trophy for personal reasons raised speculations about a possible retirement call.
