3 players to watch out for in India vs Afghanistan Only Test

Devdutt Padikkal

India's stylish left-handed batter Devdutt Padikkal is another player who could attract plenty of attention. Padikkal has played only two Test matches for India, scoring 90 runs, but his First-Class record highlights his immense potential. In 54 First-Class matches, he has accumulated 3627 runs at an impressive average of 42.67, including nine centuries and 19 half-centuries.

He is known for his elegant stroke play and solid technique and will be keen to convert his domestic success into international performances. A strong showing in this Test could significantly strengthen his case for a regular place in India's red-ball setup.
