Shades of Yuvi | Twitterverse Compares Padikkal With Former India Star

Opening alongside Aaron Finch, 20-year-old Devdutt Padikkal stepped up to the challenge as he scored 56 off 42 balls on his IPL debut for RCB.

The young Karnataka batter switched gears after the first over, hitting Sandeep Sharma, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Natarajan for boundaries with ease. Even as the Aussie limited-overs skipper watched from the other end, Padikkal raced to 34 off 22 balls in 5 overs of the innings. Finch was on 10 off 10.

His half century came off 36 balls.
