Padikkal played an impressive 199-run knock on Day 3. He helped India A recover from a 204-run first-innings deficit. The visitors were bowled out for just 113, and New Zealand A responded with 317. However, his dismissal one run short of a double century also sparked debate over the umpire's decision.

Captain Dhruv Jurel brought Devdutt Padikkal into the attack despite the batter having bowled only 14 overs in First-Class cricket before this match. Padikkal made an immediate impact, dismissing Fraser Sheat in his first over.
Zak Gibson also edged a delivery, and Rahul took a good low catch at first slip. New Zealand A lost their eighth wicket as Padikkal claimed his second wicket of the innings.
Devdutt Padikkal Falls for 199 After Controversial Decision
Devdutt Padikkal had dominated the New Zealand A attack earlier in the match, bringing up his 12th First-Class century with a six off Jayden Lennox. He finished with 199 off 248 balls, including 24 fours and three sixes, but fell just short of a double century after a disputed caught-behind decision.
Padikkal used his hands to demonstrate how far the ball had passed from his bat, suggesting that it had only brushed his leg pads. The decision ended his innings one run short of the milestone, despite his apparent disbelief.
Sai Sudharsan and Yash Rathod Help India A Recover
Devdutt Padikkal and Sai Sudharsan then added 215 runs for the third wicket, handling the strong winds and punishing loose deliveries. Sudharsan scored 91 before top-edging a short ball, while Padikkal continued to attack and wiped out the deficit.
He entered the senior side after Sudharsan suffered an injury during the Sri Lanka series and scored centuries in both Tests he played, as well as a hundred in the preceding tour game. Sudharsan's 91 against New Zealand A keeps the selection debate open.
