Devdutt Padikkal joins Virat Kohli in elite club after historic ton vs Sri Lanka
On Independence Day, Devdutt Padikkal scored 131 runs, becoming the second Indian to achieve a Test century on August 15. His innings marked a significant milestone, as he is the first player to score a Test century from the number three position for India. This achievement ends a long wait for a Test century from that batting order in the country.
