Brian Lara wants Devdutt Padikkal to score century and bag a few Man of the Match awards this season

By PTI
MUMBAI: Devdutt Padikkal needs to “iron out” a few technical things but the legendary Brian Lara is confident that the Royal Challengers Bangalore left-hander would better his performance during this IPL with a few Man of the Match awards.
The 20-year-old Padikkal was one of the finds of the last IPL, scoring 474 runs with five half-centuries and contributing handsomely to RCB’s campaign.
This year, he missed RCB’s opener as he was recovering from a bout of COVID-19 virus and scored 11 in his first appearance, against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
“He’s (Padikkal) such a great talent.
Last year, he got a couple of (5) fifties, he batted well, he supported Virat Kohli very well,” Lara told Star Sports’ Select Dugout Live Feed.
