What's the story

Karnataka batter Devdutt Padikkal has finally received his maiden Test cap as the fifth and final Test between India and England in Dharamsala marked his debut.

The southpaw has replaced Rajat Patidar in the XI as the latter sustained an injury during a net session, stated skipper Rohit Sharma.

Here we decode Padikkal's stats and recent form in First-Class cricket.

Form 

Padikkal rewarded for his Ranji run

Padikkal received his maiden Test call-up ahead of the third Test of the ongoing series in Rajkot. He replaced the injured KL Rahul in the squad.

The left-handed Karnataka batter racked up 556 runs from six innings at an incredible average of 92.66 in the 2024 Ranji Trophy season.

His tally includes three tons, including a career-best 193 against Punjab.

Updates 

India are 3-1 up in the series 

The Dharamsala track is expected to favor pacers.

As Padikkal has batted in the top three for the majority of his FC career, he has the experience of tackling the swinging ball.

Moreover, his addition means India have a left-hander in the middle order.

Notably, the hosts are 3-1 up in the series.

England have elected to bat after winning the toss in Dharamsala.
