IPL 2025: Pre-season Hard Work Is Coming Into Effect Now, Says Padikkal
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru batter Devdutt Padikkal credited his pre-season hard work after scoring 37 off 22 balls against Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium on Monday.
RCB won the clash by 12 runs to register their first win at Wankhede after a gap of 10 years. Asked to bat first, Virat Kohli's 67 and captain Rajat Patidar's quickfire 32-ball 64 laced with four sixes and five fours helped RCB to post 221/5 in 20 overs.
Padikkal's knock was studded with three sixes and two fours and came at a strike rate of 168.18. "Coming into this season, obviously, I had to work really hard. I knew there were things that I needed to improve on. There were lots of aspects of the game that I felt weren't up to the mark in the last year. I had a good couple of months before the IPL started, and I feel all that hard work is coming into effect now," he said in the post-match press conference.
