Since his Indian Premier League debut, Devdutt Padikkal has developed a lot as a cricketer. The exposure of playing with cricketers like Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers helped him a great deal. Kohli, who was leader when Padikkal burst onto the scene, stepped down as Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) captain after IPL 2021 but has been retained by the franchise ahead of IPL 2022. The duo has batted together on many occasions in the IPL. Although Padikkal hasn't been retained by the franchise, he is expected to be involved in a bidding war during the IPL 2022 mega auction this month. Speaking on RCB Podcast, the 21-year-old opened up about how it is to bat with Kohli and also lauded the former RCB skipper.
