The Story in Brief
India batting coach Sitanshu Kotak lauded Devdutt Padikkal for his dedicated work on back foot game and shot selection. The No. 3 batter made a wonderful maiden international innings, prompting the praise. Kotak, speaking on Saturday, revealed that Padikkal's success is a result of his focused efforts on improving his technique, particularly his ability to play on the back foot. The coach's statement underscores the value of targeted practice in international cricket.
The Indian Opinion
Kotak's public praise fits the pattern of Indian coaches boosting young players' confidence. However, fans have seen many promising starts fizzle out. Padikkal's real challenge will be delivering consistently against world-class pace attacks, especially abroad. The next overseas tour will be his true test.
