The Delhi Capitals and the Lucknow Super Giants square off in the 26th game of the IPL 2024. After batting first, Lucknow has had a very bad start and has lost four significant wickets in the first eight overs. Devdutt Padikkal scored just three runs after failing miserably with the bat once more. Khaleel Ahmed strolled Padikkal.
This season, young batsman Devdutt Padikkal, who previously made waves with the bat when playing for the RCB, is itching for runs. In the IPL 2023, Padikkal’s bat has been eerily quiet. Padikkal failed miserably at bat in the game against the Delhi Capitals at the Ekana Stadium, managing only three runs.
Padikkal is well-known for his sound technique and preference for playing real cricket shots. Both experts and fans have praised Padikkal for his poise and maturity at the wicket. In addition, he has competed for India A in a few of competitions, demonstrating his skill and future potential for greater recognition.
Padikkal is regarded as one of the best prospects in India’s batting lineup due to his explosive ascent in the sport of cricket. Given his youth, aptitude, and commitment, he should be able to contribute significantly to both local and international cricket while playing a key position in the Indian squad.
Padikkal’s flop show continues
This season, Devdutt Padikkal’s bat has performed horribly. Padikkal’s bat has only managed to score 25 runs at an average of five and a strike rate of 65 in the five games that have been played thus far. Padikkal managed to score just three runs in the game against Delhi, failing to produce any kind of memorable batting performance. The batsman from Lucknow was shown the way to the pavilion by Khalil Ahmed.
