Padikkal shines in Vijay Hazare but waits for ODI chance

Karnataka's own Devdutt Padikkal is lighting up the Vijay Hazare Trophy with over 600 runs! But wait, he’s still waiting for a call to join India's ODI squad because the competition is fierce. Padikkal believes in patience and knows that adapting from T20 to 50-over cricket is key. His game plan? Keep the bowlers under pressure and play smart, whether he’s batting first or chasing!

Quick rundown

1.Padikkal stays cool about the ODI snub and keeps piling up runs.

2.RCB mentors Dinesh Karthik and Andy Flower helped him convert traditional class into white-ball fireworks.

3.He discovered a natural 50-over tempo, anchoring the innings while ready to strike.

4.The shift from Test-style batting to power-hitting is a well-planned transition.

5.Fight the new ball early, then pressure the bowler—ODI or chase, the plan stays the same.
