Just when you thought Devdutt Padikkal is running away with the contest against the Chennai Super Kings, captain Ruturaj Gaikwad decided to pluck a screamer as he dismissed the RCB batter with a blinder. Till that moment, Padikkal had given a great momentum to the RCB innings and his wicket was crucial.

The Chepauk wicket was slower than usual and RCB batter, Virat Kohli found it hard to get going on a tricky wicket. This is when Padikkal came into equation as after the wicket of Phil Salt, he injected more life and played a quick-fire knock of 27 off 13 before Ruturaj Gaikwad decided to take the matters in his own hands.


R Ashwin delivered a flighted ball as Padikkal lofted it towards the short cover fielder. Gaikwad. stationed there dived forward and grabbed a brilliant low catch. He had to judge the catch as the ball was slightly away from him, but the CSK skipper managed to keep his hands under the ball.

Salt gave a rocking start as Kohli struggled at one end

RCB were put into bat by Gaikwad and he instantly regretted the decision as Phil Salt gave a flying start. He was aggressive against every bowler and looked all set to reach his fifty before MS Dhoni did a lightning quick stumping to dismiss him.

Kohli, his opening partner struggled at one end as he couldn't find the boundaries with ease. Padikkal eased a bit of pressure, but just when the RCB side had the momentum, Ashwin struck with Gaikwad doing the damage.
