India A spinner Shams Mulani got the better of India D batter Devdutt Padikkal with a superb delivery on Day 4 of the ongoing 2024 Duleep Trophy match on Sunday, September 15. The game is being played at the Rural Development Trust Stadium in Anantapur.

The dismissal happened on the last ball of the 32nd over. Mulani bowled a looping delivery on off-stump, tempting the left-handed batter to drive. Padikkal was beaten on the inside edge and the ball crashed into the leg stump, sending the bails flying. Unlike his first innings heroics, where he scored 92, the left-handed batter was dismissed for just one after facing five balls.

Here’s the video of the dismissal:

At the time of writing, India D are 147/3 after 44 overs, with Shreyas Iyer (32) and Ricky Bhui (69) at the crease. India D still need 341 runs to win, with seven wickets remaining.
