Padikkal's fireworks lead RCB to a thrilling victory!

In the IPL 2026 opener, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) turned the game around thanks to Devdutt Padikkal! He blasted a jaw-dropping 61 runs off just 26 balls, helping RCB chase down a 202-run target in just 15.4 overs. Coach Daniel Vettori praised Padikkal's explosive start, which set the tone for a dominant victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad.
