Naseeruddin Mohammed, Devdutt Padikkal's personal coach, is among those few people who explain, via RevSportz, the detailed process that helped the left-handed batter to play the brilliant 167 against Sri Lanka in Galle in the ongoing India vs Sri Lanka Test match.
He was only 24 when the selectors dropped him from the Test squad, a moment of upset for the emerging batter. Without the upset, the version of Padikkal the entire world witnessed on August 15 and August 16 might have remained unexplored.
The preparations in nets which repolished Devdutt Padikkal's batting to play against spin
"At the Karnataka Institute of Cricket (KIOC), we prepared pitches that would be similar in nature to those for the Tests in Sri Lanka. We had three left-arm spinners bowling to him in every session. We also used the red Kookaburra ball," Naseeruddin told RevSportz.
The match that bolstered Devdutt Padikkal's self-belief
More than the technical adjustments in batting stance, Naseeruddin Mohammed mentioned a Ranji Trophy match when his student played a 120-run knock off 85 balls against Punjab in the previous season. He believes that that rapid innings provided Devdutt Padikkal the self-belief which he needed to upgrade his level.
"Padikkal needed to regain his confidence. Also, getting the Karnataka captaincy mid-season during the 2025-26 Ranji Trophy contributed to him having a different mindset."
For a long time, the Indian cricket team has been in search of a batter who could make the No.3 batting position his own. If Padikkal continues to perform well, then he could be the missing piece of the unsolved puzzle.
