Devdutt Padikkal frustrated after controversial dismissal at 199 against New Zealand A
Summary

Devdutt Padikkal scored 199 runs before being controversially dismissed in India's second innings against New Zealand A in Lincoln on October 26. Padikkal was given out caught behind off Zak Gibson, a decision that left him visibly upset as he believed the ball did not touch his bat. With no Decision Review System available for this unofficial Test, he could not contest the call. His innings was crucial as India A had struggled early, collapsing to 10 for 2 after only 2 wickets in the second innings. Padikkal's efforts were part of a significant 215-run third-wicket partnership with Sai Sudharsan, who made 91 runs. India A will continue their match against New Zealand A, with Padikkal’s performance raising questions about his selection for the upcoming Test series in November.
