Devdutt Padikkal for the Bangalore team came as a revelation as he announced his arrival in Dream11 IPL 2020 with a sublime half-century. The left-handed opening batsman from Karnataka will look to build on the momentum that he is carrying from his stellar knock as Virat Kohli and co gear up to face a resilient Punjab team.
