The Sunday became unmissable as the cricket fans enjoyed a thrilling afternoon as the Royal Challengers Bengaluru locked horns with the Punjab Kings. After a humiliating defeat against them in the last match, RCB bounced back and registered a thrilling win.

While chasing the total, the ‘Chase Master’ led the way, and Devdutt Padikkal played a crucial role in securing the victory. After being named Player of the Match, Kohli’s heartfelt praise for Padikkal stole the spotlight.

Kohli Can’t Stop Praising Padikkal

Everyone knows who is the best at chasing, and the man proved the fact right once again. While chasing the 158-run total, RCB lost an early wicket, and Devdutt Padikkal joined Virat Kohli on the crease. After that, there was no looking back as the duo gave a huge boost to RCB’s innings.

After a series of setbacks, Padikkal smashed a fifty and played a fiery innings of 61 runs in 35 balls. After his dismissal, Virat Kohli went on and remained unbeaten on 73 runs in just 54 deliveries. That contribution earned him a Player of the Match award. But true to his nature, Kohli’s heart shone through as he dedicated the praise to Padikkal’s brilliant knock, insisting he deserved the award.

“I don’t know why I’ve been given the POTM award. Devdutt Padikkal was the one who created the difference in this chase.” Kohli said.
