Determination To Push Through Fatigue Key Behind Test Ton: Padikkal
Galle International Stadium: India batter Devdutt Padikkal has revealed that sheer determination to battle extreme physical exhaustion and heat was the defining factor behind his commanding unbeaten century on day one of the first Test against Sri Lanka here at the Galle International Stadium.
Making his return to the Test side for the first time after November 2024, left-handed Padikkal struck a masterly 131 not out off 178 balls to place India in a position of strength by taking them to a commanding 288/2 in 73 overs.
“In this knock, determination for me was playing through that tiredness and fatigue that I was feeling, especially towards the third session. I think it was getting really hot and we were losing a lot of fluids from our body and were sweating all the time. So it was really important that I was determined enough to keep going and keep pushing forward,” Padikkal said in a video posted on bcci.tv on Sunday.
