Out or not out? India A batter questions umpire after falling for match-turning 199 against New Zealand A

Devdutt Padikkal narrowly missed a double century during India A's second innings against New Zealand A, falling for 199 after being caught behind off the bowling of Zak Gibson. The batter contested the umpire's decision, signaling that he had not made contact with the ball, but the lack of a Decision Review System meant his dismissal stood.

His innings included 24 boundaries and three sixes across 248 deliveries, marking the first time an Indian player has been dismissed for 199 in a first-class match outside of his home country.

Supported by Sai Sudarshan's 91 and Yash Rathod's 66, Padikkal helped propel India A to a total of 488-8 by the end of the third day. This performance established a lead of 284 runs, putting the team in a strong position heading into the final day of play.
