Devdutt Padikkal Hits Century In Second Test Against Sri Lanka
· Sports · Times of India, Indian Express, NDTV Sports
Devdutt Padikkal scored his second Test century on the first day of the second match against Sri Lanka in Colombo. The left-handed batter capitalized on two early reprieves, having been dropped by the Sri Lankan fielders when he was on scores of 0 and 1. This performance follows his 167-run innings in the opening Test in Galle, where India secured a 165-run victory. Padikkal eventually fell for 117 after being dismissed by Nuwantha.
Why it matters
Padikkal's consistent batting form strengthens India's position in the ongoing Test series and boosts his standing in the national team's middle order.
