New Delhi:
The bids of many players surprised many on the first day of the two-day Indian Premier League (IPL 2025 mega auction) which started on Sunday. Some people got more money than expected, while some were not even touched by any franchise. Meaning, he did not even bid, but if this player is a member of Team India, which is currently playing the first Test in Perth, then it is very surprising. But this happened with Devdutt Padikkal, who scored 25 runs in the second innings of the first Test, who remained unsold on the first day. The reason was that no franchise bid for this member of Team India. And this is very surprising that a player is currently playing test matches for the Indian team, has played good innings in the IPL before, but no one has bid on him.
Surprised everyone with four consecutive centuries!
This was the 2020-21 season of domestic cricket. Then in this season, in the domestic premier ODI tournament Vijay Hazare Trophy, Devdutt Padikkal created a sensation by scoring four consecutive centuries. He became the first batsman in history to do so. In such a situation, it cannot be said that Devdutt is not a white-ball player.
This blast has been done in the year 2021 edition, but…
Lefty batsman Devdutt Padikkal had scored 411 runs in the year 2021 at an average of 31.61. Besides, he also scored an unbeaten century in the same season. But from here onwards his performance was not the same. Next year his average came down to 22.12, while last year the situation went from bad to worse. Padikkal played only 7 matches and in these he scored only 38 runs at an average of 5.43. Perhaps this was the reason why last year's performance greatly affected his claim in the “data bank” of the franchise.
