Devdutt Padikkal’s impressive return to India’s Test set-up has been reflected in the latest ICC rankings, with the left-hander climbing five places to No. 54 among Test batters following his prolific tour of Sri Lanka.

It was a memorable run-fest, with more than 500 runs scored in the match. The spectators were treated to some outstanding batting as Naman Dhir and Prabhsimran Singh both scored brilliant centuries, while three other batters also made important contributions.

India assumed a position of strength at the end of the first day of the second World Test Championship match between India and Sri Lanka at Colombo, thanks to a century by Devdutt Padikkal, who carried his fine form from the previous game in Galle, as the visitors ended the day at 300/5.
