Padikkal's 167 Puts Pressure on Sai Sudharsan, Says Chopra
Cricket is a sport played with a bat and ball.
In a Test match, teams play for up to five days.
Devdutt Padikkal is a cricketer who plays for India.
He got to play in a big match in a place called Galle.
He had not played for India for two years.
Another player, Sai Sudharsan, was supposed to play but was not fit.
So Padikkal got his chance.
Padikkal scored 167 runs, which is a very big score.
A former player named Aakash Chopra said this puts Sudharsan under pressure.
Chopra said Padikkal is making himself hard to drop from the team.
Devdutt Padikkal scored 167 in the first Test in Galle on his return to Team India after two years.
Padikkal was not the first-choice inclusion; Sai Sudharsan failed to get fit in time, paving the way for Padikkal.
Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra said the innings will put Sai Sudharsan under pressure.
Chopra noted that Sudharsan could not make the most of the opportunities presented to him before.
Chopra said the selection committee will get a 'sweet headache' if Padikkal scores big in the second Test as well.
