Former India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni is celebrating his 40th birthday on Wednesday. Apart from Dhoni, India’s most successful captain, today is also the birthday of Indian cricketer Devadat Padikal. Padikkal, who plays for Royal Challengers Bangalore in IPL, shared the video on BCCI Twitter on his birthday. Padikkal is currently in Sri Lanka. India will have to play a limited-overs series against Sri Lanka starting July 13. For Padikkal, this visit can prove to be very important. He wants to perform well on this tour to get a place in the Indian team in the T20 world which will be held at the end of the year.
BCCI took to Twitter to wish the young man his 21st birthday. BCCI shared a 30-second video on Twitter. In this video, you can see paddocking batting and timing the ball well. BCCI wrote in the title, 30 seconds for birthday boy’s birthday, with balls perfecting the nets, this is Padikkal’s first tour with the Indian team. Several senior players, including Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, are currently touring England. For this reason, many young players have secured a place in Sri Lanka.
