However, he changed gears quickly and reached his century in the next 24 balls. Notably, he hit five consecutive sixes and a four in the 39th over to go from 66* to 100* in just six balls.

Each of Padikkal’s 13 List A tons has come in the Vijay Hazare Trophy as he is yet to make his Indian debut. Padikkal is now the batter with the third-most tons in VHT history and with the Indian selection round the corner the Karnataka batter is knocking down the door.
