Devdutt Padikkal falls for 167 during a rain-interrupted Test match, after reaching a 150-run milestone that places him alongside Rahul Dravid and Cheteshwar Pujara in a Sri Lanka record list. Both reports say he achieves the feat while batting at number three, highlighting his growing impact at the top order.
The match is repeatedly delayed due to weather and resumes after interruptions. On resumption, India loses Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul, according to the two outlets. Despite those wickets, the coverage focuses on Padikkal’s innings as the standout moment, with the overall story centered on his run-scoring and the record-linked milestone rather than the broader match outcome.
While both sources align on the key details—Padikkal’s 150-plus score, his dismissal for 167, the number three position, and the weather disruption—their emphasis is mainly on the milestone and how it connects him to prior Sri Lanka batting records held by Dravid and Pujara.
