Devdutt Padikkal: The Return of the Homegrown Hero Devdutt Padikkal’s journey with Royal Challengers Bengaluru has come full circle. The elegant southpaw first announced himself to the world in 2020, claiming the Emerging Player award with a prolific 473-run debut season. Known for his effortless shot-making and poise at the top of the order, Padikkal’s career reached a new peak with a maiden IPL century against Rajasthan Royals in 2021. After stints with Rajasthan and Lucknow, he returned to his “home” franchise in 2025. Despite a hamstring injury cutting his previous campaign short, Padikkal remains a cornerstone of RCB’s batting philosophy, combining technical grace with a newly aggressive T20 approach.
