1st Test: The Way Padikkal Adapted To Conditions Was Crucial Rather Than His No.3 Position, Says Kotak
Galle International Stadium: India batting coach Sitanshu Kotak has pointed to the hard work done by batter Devdutt Padikkal, who returned to the side after a big gap and scored his maiden century in the first Test against Sri Lanka here on Saturday.
Playing in Tests for the first time since November 2024, Padikkal scored an unbeaten 134 as India dominated Sri Lanka to reach 288/2 in 73 overs when stumps were called early because of bad light on a rain-hit opening day at the Galle International Stadium.
Having opted to bat first after winning the toss in their 600th Test, India were given a fluent start by their opening pair of Yashasvi Jaiswal (32) and vice-captain KL Rahul, who retired hurt on 77 in the final session due to cramps. But left-handed Padikkal looked the part to get a big score - using the crease well and showcasing great footwork, as well as running hard for his ones and twos- to hit 131 not out off 178 balls, laced with 12 fours and a six.
