Padikkal Scores Second Test Century After Two Early Reprieves Against Sri Lanka

Indian batsman Devdutt Padikkal scored his second Test century against Sri Lanka, capitalizing on two dropped catches early in his innings. He reached his hundred after hitting two consecutive boundaries off Prabath Jayasuriya, followed by a single. Padikkal had been on 91 when he accelerated to the milestone in just a few deliveries. The knock highlighted Sri Lanka's costly fielding errors, as Padikkal had been dropped on both 0 and 1.
