Devdutt Padikkal scored a fluent 142 at Colombo’s Nondescript Cricket Club during a warm-up fixture, the Times of India reported on Aug. 8, 2026.
With Sai Sudharsan all but ruled out of the Sri Lanka series, Padikkal seized his chance in that fixture.
He displayed assured footwork, confidence against both spin and pace and solid technique, underscoring his readiness for India’s No. 3 spot.
