Royal Challengers Bangalore youngster Devdutt Padikkal has already lived up to the hype by scoring three fifty in four games so far. The left-handed hitter broke his third to help his team chase 158 against the Rajasthan Royals in Abu Dhabi on Saturday. Padikkal scored 63 runs on 45 balls before he was fired by Jofra Archer. In his innings, he pitched one for six, and fans compared his hitting style to the great Yuvraj Singh of India. (Total IPL coverage 2020)
