Devdutt Padikkal’s sudden entry into the Indian team
India vs Australia: The first match of the five-Test series between India and Australia begins on Friday i.e. November 22. BCCI had already announced the team. Except Rohit Sharma, the rest of the team is currently in Perth, Australia where the first match will be played. Now there is not much time left for the first test, but before that, suddenly, a new player has entered the team. Although no one has been dropped from the team, Devdutt Padikkal has been included in the team. It is expected that he will also have the opportunity to play in the eleven.
BCCI announced Devdutt’s name
The BCCI announced some time ago that Devdutt Padikkal has been included in the Indian team’s squad for the first Test, he is a left-handed batsman. Although Devdutt Padikkal made his Test debut this year, he did not get a place in the Indian team after that. After this, he is now making a comeback in some way. There was already a chance that due to Shubman Gill’s injury, Devdutt Padikkal would get a place in the first Test. Now this has also been officially announced.
The first test match was played in March this year.
Devdutt Padikkal played his first Test against England in Dharamsala in March 2024. Then playing at number four, Devdutt played a valuable innings of 65 runs. He then came into the team in place of Virat Kohli and was seen playing at number four. But this time he has come into the team in place of Shubman Gill and can be seen batting at number three.
Devdutt played for the Indian A team.
Recently, when the India A team played a match against Australia A, they batted well. He had scored 88 runs in the second innings of the first match. However, after this he couldn’t play many important innings. He has been in Australia for a long time so he knows well the challenges faced there, which is why he has been given a chance in the team. Now it remains to be seen how they take advantage of the second opportunity they have.
