Dev Dutt Padikkal reached Team India’s camp
Dev Dutt Padikkal, who was included in the Indian team, was playing Ranji Trophy till just a few days ago. There he performed brilliantly for his team Karnataka, for which he is getting the reward. Suddenly BCCI included him in the Test squad and now he is with the team. Devdutt Padikkal’s name had already been announced, but he could not reach, but now just a day before the match, he has joined his team and is also practicing.

Earlier, when there was a match between England Lions and India A team, he scored 65 runs in the first innings and 21 runs in the second. Earlier, he had played a brilliant inning of 105 runs against the same England Lions. He also scored 103 runs against Goa in Ranji Trophy. If we look at it this way, he has scored centuries in three out of the last four and has one half-century to his name. These are included in all first-class matches.
Devdutt has debuted for India in T20.
It is difficult to say whether Devdutt Padikkal, who has made his T20 International debut for India, will get a chance to make his Test debut in the third match or not, but the way he is in touch and is continuously scoring runs, he will be included in the playing eleven. There would be no harm in including it. Meanwhile, Sarfaraz Khan, who has already joined the team, is also waiting for his turn. It is certain that one of these two will debut, but who it will be will be revealed on February 15 at 9 am, when captain Rohit Sharma will announce his playing eleven.
