Devdutt Padikkal was out of Team India’s squad after the first test itself.
The second Test of the 5-match series between India and Australia will be played in Adelaide from December 6. Its preparation has started. The next match will be the Pink Ball Test, so Team India will also get a chance to play a three-day practice match, which will start from November 30. This will give Indian players an opportunity to prepare to play pink ball. Meanwhile, only the first match of the series has taken place, four matches are left, but one player has been dropped from the Indian team squad. There is very little possibility that he will get a chance to play another match. This player is Devdutt Padikkal.
Devdutt Padikkal was suddenly included in the team and got a chance to play.
When Team India was announced by BCCI for the Test series against Australia, Dev Dutt Padikkal was not included in the squad. Although he was in Australia and playing for India A against Australia A. Shubman Gill suddenly gets injured before the first Test and just a day before the match, BCCI suddenly announces the inclusion of Devdutt Padikkal in the squad. When the match starts the next day, Devdutt Padikkal is playing with India’s playing eleven.
The team was entered for only one test
Devdutt Padikkal did not have a big contribution in India’s victory in the first test. He could not even play his part in the first innings, whereas in the second innings, when Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli scored centuries, only 25 runs came from Devdutt’s bat. BCCI had already announced that Devdutt was being included in the team only for the first Test. That means now he is out of the rest of the series, until a new update is given.
KL Rahul can bat at number 3
Captain Rohit Sharma has joined the team for the second test against Australia and he will also be seen playing for the team. In such a situation, there is a possibility that Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal will open the innings. If we talk about Shubman Gill, the picture is not clear yet whether he will be able to play the second test or not. That means he can miss the next match also. In such a situation, KL Rahul may get a chance to bat at number three. Meanwhile, it is believed that until Shubman Gill becomes completely fit, Devdutt may not be sent back to India, he can at least stay with the team. If needed, they can be included in the team and given a chance to play.
