The Way He Has Prepared: India Coach Explains Key to Padikkal’s Maiden Century The opening day of the first Test against Sri Lanka was a resounding success for India, thanks in large part to Devdutt Padikkal's composed and calculated maiden century.
As he brought up his hundred with an unassuming air about him, it was clear that this milestone was not just personal but also a testament to the team's approach towards adapting to challenging conditions.
Padikkal's success can be attributed to his preparation at the BCCI Centre of Excellence, where he worked on developing multiple ways to counter spin bowling.
