Domestic tournament Vijay Hazare Trophy is being played in India where Karnataka's star batsman Devdutt Padikkal has scored his second century. Padikkal's bat is not stopping and he completed his century against Chandigarh by hitting 9 fours and 5 sixes in just 94 balls. Let us tell you that seeing this performance of Devdutt Padikkal, the heartbeats of Rajasthan Royals must have increased somewhere.
We are saying this because recently, before the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League, Rajasthan Royals traded Devdutt Padikkal to Lucknow Super Giants. Ever since RR's decision came out, Padikkal's performance has been seen at a different level. He is happy to be a part of the Super Giants, but somewhere in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, he has proved the decision of Rajasthan Royals wrong by raising smoke with his batting.
Let us tell you that Padikkal has so far played 5 innings in Vijay Hazare Trophy 2023-24, during which he has scored 456 runs by batting stormly at a strike rate of 120. The special thing is that he is currently unbeaten in his fifth innings and is adding runs to his account. Till now he has scored 2 centuries and 3 half-centuries, seeing which Lucknow Super Giants must be very happy.
Also know that Devdutt Padikkal was included in their team by Rajasthan Royals last season by paying a huge amount of Rs 7.75 crore, but his performance was nothing special. Padikkal had added only 261 runs in 11 matches in the last IPL season at an average of 26.10. This is the reason why Rajasthan Royals have now decided to trade him in exchange for Avesh Khan. In such a situation, it will be very interesting to see how his performance is in the upcoming season.
