Left-hand batter Devdutt Padikkal was bought by the Rajasthan Royals franchise for Rs 7.75 crore in the IPL mega auction in Bengaluru last month. The price tag didn't come as a big surprise after Padikkal's impressive outings for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at the top of the order in previous seasons. In addition to that, recently it was revealed by Kumar Sangakkara, director of cricket and head coach of RR, how much he admires Padikkal's classy shots. During a Clubhouse session on the Red Bull Cricket room, Sangakkara lauded the Indian cricketer.
