Comeback star Devdutt Padikkal hit a polished 167 as India scored 460-9 on a rainy second day of the first Test against Sri Lanka in Galle on Sunday.

Left-hander Padikkal reached 131 not out in a chanceless innings as India batted themselves into a strong position after electing to bat first in the country's 600th Test.

Padikkal becomes the fifth India player to make his Test debut in the ongoing series. He replaced Rajat Patidar, who sustained an ankle injury during training on the eve of the match.
