Devdutt Padikkal was not a favourite to start the game, as he came into the side with Sai Sudharsan being ruled out of the Test series. Sai was the first-choice No.3 batter for the Men in Blue; if he had been fit, he would have started, and Padikkal would have warmed the bench. But the former grabbed the opportunity with both hands.
The Southpaw is the fourth Indian to score 150+ in a Test innings in Galle, after Virender Sehwag (201*), Shikhar Dhawan (190) and Cheteshwar Pujara (153). He got into the list after scoring 150 runs off 215 balls.

167 - Devdutt Padikkal v SL
Yashasvi Jaiswal had an unfortunate start
Coming to the match, Shubman Gill won the toss and opted to bat first. Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul were off to a good start as they stitched 47 runs for the first wicket.
KL Rahul yet again falls cheaply
Gill had a good start, but he could not convert it into a big score, and then Rishabh Pant scored 39 runs.
Later, Rahul came back into the crease, but he failed to reach his hundred as he was back in the pavilion for 82 runs. India are at a good stage with Dhruv Jurel and Ravindra Jadeja at the crease with 376/5. They will look to put up a big total, and keep the rain in mind as well.
