Devdatt padikkal

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Virat Kohli said that Devdatt Padikkal should have been given the Player of the Match award not him after the latter played a match-setting knock of 61 in 35 balls to help Royal Challengers Bengaluru beat Punjab Kings by seven wickets on Sunday.

Kohli scored 71 not out in 54 balls including seven fours and a six while Padikkal's quick-fire contribution was laced with four sixes and five fours. The duo was involved in a crucial 103-run partnership for the second wicket to avenge their home five-wicket loss against Punjab.

Earlier, Krunal Pandya and Suyash Sharma bagged two scalps each to restrict Punjab to 157/6 in 20 overs.
