AjitHOST
Devdutt Padikkal once again showing number three could be his for the long term.
AjitHOST
It is between him and Sai Sudarshan.
AjitHOST
So both sort past both sort of contrasting approaches, but great temperaments on both sides, right? Gill made a 50, Pant made a 50.
AjitHOST
Jadeja held up one end for about two hours.
NikhilGUEST
I also thought he just in general handled the spinners really well, but at the same time, um he was not you saw there was clear ability even while facing pace so for the time moment it does look like india sorted out their number three which was a cause of concern for a pretty long time in recent past ever since the pujara retirement so for now it does look good uh just hoping that that's for particular because i've always been a i always wanted particle in the odia and test setup but good that he made the most of his opportunity the test level and hopefully it's like he keeps yeah we get to see another great number three
AnanyaHOST
yeah I think DDP should stay but will that mean Sai Sudarshan is kind of done with Indian cricket there's no place for him in any of the formats anymore no
NikhilGUEST
I don't think so but like for the time being just for the quality of runs more than the number of runs it's the quality of the runs like both are factors that do decide at least for the New Zealand tour I'll have DDP as my number three for sure so I understand Sai Sudarshan is a talented batter but he'll have to wait it out Yeah, Parikel has to start.
NikhilGUEST
There's no doubt about
AnanyaHOST
it.
13 MINS LATER
NikhilGUEST
Because what if Jaiswal is out of form or Rahul has an injury or God forbid, anything like that? Who's going to be our backup opener? We have not nailed down that spot yet.
NikhilGUEST
Also, number three, Sri Lanka was the tour where we actually found laser particles.
NikhilGUEST
Who knows, they might ask Sai Sudarshan to open, you never know.
SandeepHOST
Yeah, but rest of the Indian batters, Devita Padikkal has had an excellent series.
SandeepHOST
And do you think he has sealed his slot at the number three for now, ahead of Sai Sudarshan? Oh,
ShounakPANELIST
absolutely.
ShounakPANELIST
I think, you know, we talked about Dhinusha.
ShounakPANELIST
Would you agree with that? Yeah.
SandeepHOST
Yeah, I think so.
SandeepHOST
I think Sai Sudarshan, he got selected in the first place based on his IPL performances, isn't it? But now I think they've made a rule that everybody who wants a selection for Test, they should be playing first-class cricket, red-ball cricket as well.
SandeepHOST
So I think David Padikkal had a good season last year and I think that is continuing for now.
TaranHOST
I think that's one big takeaway.
TaranHOST
I feel for Sai Sudarshan.
TaranHOST
I think, uh, that this was-- it was, it was unfortunate he got injured.
TaranHOST
He was starting to establish himself.
IshanHOST
I don't know how I feel about that, right? 'Cause obviously fr- I do agree with you.
IshanHOST
You know, he's in form, he's shown runs.
IshanHOST
But I feel like Gautam Gambhir is the type to give people their dues, you know? I think to your point, though, you kind of become undroppable after a century, but I can see after maybe two innings or maybe three innings of, hey, you know, if, hey, if he does not perform, right? If the, if Padikkal does not perform, allowing Sai Sudarshan to come back, right? I think he's...
IshanHOST
At least from what, uh, we've, we've seen, he kind of allows that longer rope, uh, for some players, especially the younger core.
Nikhil MehraGUEST
Like, they were genuinely good balls.
Kushal MehraHOST
And the important question is why was he not picked and persevered with, and why was Sai Sudharsan let in?
Aadit KapadiaGUEST
That's right.
Kushal MehraHOST
It's a question we should ask.
Nikhil MehraGUEST
And, and Perth was no way to test him.
Nikhil MehraGUEST
That was no way to-
Kushal MehraHOST
To agar Sai Sudharsan ko itna bada run diya, toh yeh ladke ko dena nahi chahiye tha.
Aadit KapadiaGUEST
Bilkul dena chahiye tha.
RajHOST
Um, and, uh, yeah, I, I think that he has proven that, uh, they can play those two together.
RajHOST
Uh, you did also mention, uh, Padikkal versus sort of, uh, Sai Sudarshan.
RajHOST
Um, I sort of discussed him and his play against spin previously, uh, not being sort of where, where I think the Indian team would want it to be.
RajHOST
Uh-
TaranHOST
They are missing some of their s- other starters.
TaranHOST
Harshad Rana missing, Sai Sudharsan missing due to injury, and there's a couple others missing as well, uh, Washington Sundar as well.
TaranHOST
So they, they have a few players that are fairly new to cricket playing this game, and it's those players that stood, stood out.
TaranHOST
The two that we have to talk about, then we'll get into more about the game, but what a performance by Devdutt Padikkal.
TaranHOST
Comes into the game as a replacement for Sai Sudharsan, puts up a phenomenal innings.
TaranHOST
I think if it wasn't for his innings, this game would've been a lot closer.
TaranHOST
It's funny, India ended up winning by a few runs more than what Padikkal ended up scoring.
Bharat SundaresanHOST
I mean, he's been an IPL star for a few years now.
Bharat SundaresanHOST
Um, Sai Sudharsan would have ideally played number three, but he's injured, so Devdutt Padikkal gets his chance again.
Bharat SundaresanHOST
This would be, I, I'm assuming, fourth or fifth test, and a big hundred for him in, in Galle.
Bharat SundaresanHOST
Um, and, you know, runs for a few others, uh, a- as well.
Bharat SundaresanHOST
I mean, he's been an IPL star for a few years now.
Bharat SundaresanHOST
Um, Sai Sudharsan would have ideally played number three, but he's injured, so Devdutt Padikkal gets his chance again.
Bharat SundaresanHOST
This would be, I, I'm assuming fourth or fifth test, and a big 100 for him in, in Galle.
Bharat SundaresanHOST
Um, and, you know, runs for a few others, uh, a- as well.
SPHOST
I don't know.
SPHOST
What, what do you think, Arjit? 'Cause you, you have been observing more of Sai Sudharsan, and Ram keeps a very close eye on him in the domestic circuit as well.
AjitPANELIST
Look, Sai Sudharsan, the only thing is he sometimes gets stuck in, uh, one gear, right? You need your-
SPHOST
Yeah
AjitPANELIST
... number three to be a little bit more enterprising.
SPHOST
Yeah, yeah.
AjitPANELIST
Then Padikkal is the right sort of number three.
AjitPANELIST
If sometimes with, if this, in the same test, if it was, uh, Sai Sudharsan walking in, nothing, nothing taking nothing away from his credit, uh, from his temperament or his technique or anything, right? The scoring rate would not have been as healthy, right?
