Rajkot: The third Test between India and England is scheduled to begin in Rajkot on Thursday. In this case, KL Rahul has withdrawn from this competition. With that, Devdat Padkal has got the opportunity to feature in the Test cricket team for the first time.
The England cricket team is touring India for a 5-match Test series. England won the first match and India won the second match. The third match of the series starts on 15th. In this context, the BCCI recently announced the Indian squad for the next three matches. Virat Kohli did not play in this series.
KL Rahul, who was ruled out of the second match, is expected to play in the team’s last two Tests as he did not get match fitness to play in the Rajkot tournament.
In this context, 23-year-old left-handed batsman Devdat Padal, who is in good form, has been given a chance in the team. He is playing for the Karnataka team in the current Ranji Trophy series and has recorded three centuries. In this he scored 151 runs against Tamil Nadu at Chepakkam ground. He also scored 105 runs against England Lions. Because of that he has been given a chance in the team.
