Cricket News Desk. The craze of India's young batsman Devdutt Padikkal is being seen in domestic cricket, where this batsman has created havoc by scoring one century after another. Now he showed his talent by playing a century against Baroda in Vijay Hazare Trophy. He scored a century while opening for Karnataka in his first match of the tournament. If we look at his List A career, it is amazing.
Padikkal has played only 30 innings so far in his List A career. The surprising thing is that he has scored nine centuries in so few matches. Not only this, he has also scored 11 half-centuries during this period. Karnataka captain Mayank Agarwal, who batted first after losing the toss in the quarter-final match against Baroda in Vadodara, could score only six runs and his wickets also fell less. But after this, Padikkal along with Anish KV took charge of the innings and made a partnership of 133 runs for the second wicket.
Padikkal was out after scoring 102 runs.
This partnership lasted till the 28th over. Later Raj Limbani sent Anish to the pavilion. His innings included one six and four fours. Devdutt completed his century soon after his dismissal. He faced 99 balls in his innings and hit two sixes and 15 fours. In an attempt to increase the run rate, Padikkal was out after scoring 102 runs, where he was also caught by Raj Limbani.
Padikkal played the Perth Test against Australia.
Devdutt played only the Perth Test in the five-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy. This player faced 23 balls in the first innings and Josh Hazlewood was out without scoring any runs. The left-handed batsman returned to the pavilion after scoring 25 runs in the second innings. He played 71 balls to score so many runs. After the return of Shubman Gill, he was dropped for the next match.
