IPL 2022: Devdutt Padikkal, a former RCB cricketer, praised Virat Kohli and stated why it is simple to bat with the ex-India captain.
Cricketer Devdutt Padikkal has matured a great deal since his debut in the Indian Premier League in 2012. He benefited greatly from the experience of playing alongside cricketers like Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers. After IPL 2021, Kohli stepped down as RCB captain but was retained by the franchise for IPL 2022. In the Indian Premier League (IPL), the tandem has batted together numerous times. After being released by his current organization, Padikkal is projected to be a hot commodity at the IPL mega-auction for 2022. Speaking on the RCB Podcast, the 21-year-old opened up about the experience of batting with Kohli and paid tribute to the former RCB captain.
“Batting with Virat is a breeze for me since everyone is focused on him. As you are aware, he is the center of attention. Because of all the preparation and thought going on behind the scenes, how to bow to him and what to do to him, I feel like the pressure is off of me entirely. As a result, I don’t get a lot of attention when I’m batting. Because of this, my work is made easier when I’m around him “As he put it,
I think it’s safe to say he knows his stuff when he says ‘he’s such an incredible batsman’
His 411 runs in 14 games with the team last year earned him the distinction of being the team’s second-highest run-scorer. His undefeated 101 against Rajasthan Royals was also impressive (RR).
Kohli scored 405 runs in 15 games for RCB in the 2021 IPL.
