Padikkal Falls for 167, Joins Dravid and Pujara in Sri Lanka Record List Devdutt Padikkal's impressive innings of 167 off 230 balls earned him a standing ovation from the Galle crowd as he walked back to the pavilion.
The young left hander's remarkable performance was all the more notable given the numerous rain interruptions that plagued the second day of the opening Test against Sri Lanka.
Padikkal's achievement is particularly impressive when considered alongside two other Indian batters who have scored 150 or more against Sri Lanka from No. 3: Rahul Dravid and Cheteshwar Pujara.
