Devdutt Padikkal misses double century by one run in controversial fashion against New Zealand A

Devdutt Padikkal produced a masterful 199-run performance for India A during the second unofficial Test against New Zealand A in Lincoln. His innings, which featured 24 boundaries and three sixes, ended in a contentious manner when an umpire signaled a catch behind despite the batter appearing to miss the ball.

This dismissal prevented him from reaching a double century, making him the first India A player to fall at that specific score. Padikkal shared a significant 215-run partnership with Sai Sudharsan, who was dismissed for 99, and later added 142 runs alongside Yash Rathod to help the team recover from a difficult start.

Earlier in the match, KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal were dismissed for low scores, while Zak Gibson claimed the wicket of Padikkal and Kristian Clarke dismissed Sudharsan.
