Devdutt Padikkal struck a century for India in the second Test at Colombo. Sri Lankan fielders put him down twice, once at zero and again at one. He capitalized on both chances. He stayed at the crease and put up a big score. Earlier Padikkal and Shubman Gill both reached fifties. Their runs lifted India to 187 for three before the tea break. The series hung in the balance. Sri Lanka faced India in Colombo for the series. The first drop came early. The second drop came shortly after. He did not leave. He just stayed and played.
