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.
