Batting With Virat Makes Your Job A Whole Lot Easier: Padikkal
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Batting alongside Virat Kohli in a run chase is less about pressure and more about clarity, a sentiment Devdutt Padikkal summed up after Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s commanding win to open their IPL 2026 campaign.
For Padikkal, Kohli’s presence at the other end influences how a chase develops, giving him the freedom to play more openly while feeling confident that the pace is managed.
In a format where chasing 200-plus totals often demands both aggression and composure, Padikkal’s fluent 61 off 26 balls was perfectly complemented by Kohli’s unbeaten 69, as RCB cruised past Sunrisers Hyderabad with ease. The left-hander pointed to Kohli’s unmatched game awareness in such situations, explaining how it simplifies decision-making and allows his partners to slot naturally into the rhythm of the chase.
