Devdutt Padikkal: RCB's IPL Star Poised for India Recall
Karthik backs Padikkal's sensational form as he eyes national team return.
Devdutt Padikkal is lighting up IPL 2026, and RCB coach Dinesh Karthik is all in on his comeback to the Indian squad. After smashing 61 runs off just 21 balls in the opening match, followed by consecutive half-centuries against Sunrisers Hyderabad and Chennai Super Kings, the selectors can’t ignore him any longer.
The 25-year-old’s explosive start has sent a clear message: he’s ready for international cricket. Karthik's endorsement of Padikkal shows that the young batter's form is more than just a flash in the pan; it’s a signal that he can deliver on the big stage.
With the IPL still in its early days, this is just the beginning for Padikkal. If he keeps this momentum, we might see him don the blue jersey sooner than expected. Keep your eyes peeled; he’s got the potential to be a game-changer!
