Showed amazing in Ranji Trophy

The player in question is Devdutt Padikkal, who plays for Karnataka. 22-year-old Devdutt was able to score only 9 runs in the first innings against Saurashtra in the semi-final match of Ranji Trophy, but before that he has performed amazingly in the season. In the quarter-final match against Uttarakhand, Devdutt played a brilliant inning of 69 runs. At the same time, scored a century against Jharkhand and contributed 114 runs.

Has scored 3 centuries in T20

Devdutt Padikkal made his international debut in the year 2021. He then played two T20 Internationals against Sri Lanka but he could not impress much. Just then the selectors did not give him a chance. Devdutt scored a total of 38 runs in 2 T20 Internationals. Although in first class cricket, his name has so far recorded 2 centuries and 11 half-centuries. In overall T20 career, Devdutt has scored 2388 runs in 76 matches with the help of 3 centuries and 14 half-centuries.

Captain Mayank Agarwal's century

Talking about the Ranji Trophy semi-final match, Saurashtra captain Arpit Vasavada won the toss and decided to field first. Karnataka scored 229 runs for 5 wickets on the first day thanks to an unbeaten century by captain Mayank Agarwal (110 *). Mayank hit 11 fours and a six in his unbeaten innings of 246 balls. Wicket-keeper batsman Srinivas Sharath returned unbeaten after scoring 58 runs on the first day.
