Ravi Shastri critica a Devdutt Padikkal por su enfoque “defensivo” en las pruebas IND y AUS

Devdutt Padikkal’s Test debut against Australia was not something that he wished for in the IND vs AUS 1st Test in Perth. The southpaw departed for a duck after failing to open the scoring in the 23 deliveries that he faced. India is in dire straits after the loss of three quick wickets in the form of Padikkal, Jaiswal, and Virat Kohli.

Devdutt Padikkal found his way into the crease early on in the innings after the quick dismissal of Yashasvi Jaiswal. But he too failed to bite his mark into the game after being dismissed without bothering the scoreline.

“He looked in a defensive frame of mind and wasn’t looking to score. He got a couple of length deliveries from Cummins in the over, but did not score of those. Had he scored there, maybe his frame of mind would have been different,” Ravi Shastri said after his dismissal.
