Making the debut is a special feeling: Padikkal
"It was a little bit sticky and we had to make sure that we had to bat through as we had a batter short. We wanted to put a competitive total on the board and we have a strong bowling attack, will look to defend. This is a par score but we will have to bowl and field well. Making the debut is a special feeling. Everyone is excited about this opportunity," said Devdutt Padikkal.
