Devdutt Padikkal’s development in T20 cricket resembles growth spurts in a baby. Like how in the blink of an eye a child starts walking, talking and outgrowing its shoes, the 25-year-old southpaw’s progress has come at an astonishing pace.
Against the Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League here on Friday (April 24, 2026), Padikkal provided another piece of evidence with a rollicking 27-ball 55 that helped Royal Challengers Bengaluru register an impressive five-wicket win.
