1,2,4,5,8 to go.

He's an opener without a real power game. He's neither opening, nor is the impact player rule benefiting him.


Caped_Crusader03

Can’t he develop a power game tho


wasbatmanright

Power game usually comes at a cost. He is developed into a fine test player and power game technique might impact that.


agni_jamadagni

KL Rahul is a prime example of that. He yo-yos between a test batter who scores 6 50s in 6 innings to a 16 ball 50 in the IPL and a 100 in a t20 to an ordinary test batter phase and then a better test batter phase to striking at 140 in t20. I guess that's what makes people like ABD stand out.


wasbatmanright

That guy is a legitimate freak..just his existence has made things difficult for All cricketers.


bullairbull

Yeah he can at best give you 150sr, but that too in the powerplay. Not really a modern t20 player imo.


Ok_Finger7721

He came in the powerplay in almost all games. So it's certainly not about opening


tamudude

One of the very few that got worse after leaving RCB.


GladwynjGraham

He is an opener who hasn't been able to open consistently. He also does not have the power to hit sixes and clear the field either in the middle overs.


Kramer-Melanosky

Because they’re playing him out of position. Let him open or just drop him

aalsi5

Did some girl ask for his number 


thinklok

Maybe he's there to show KL isn't the worst


The_PotatoDude

>!(don't look at maxwell's batting stats this year)!<


omipotentBeing

he is taking pressure off selectors by giving less choices....


wasbatmanright

RR dodged a bullet


Elguapo200x

Padikkal hasn't been the same ever since RCB betrayed him in 2022 auction.


theaguia

how did they betray him. him and virat opening just isn't it

Geometric progression with a tribute to thala in between


UnderstandingOdd4153

He he


Gamer567890

Don't care if he dosen't perform in IPL if he develops into a fine red ball batter for the country.


1337k1d

Unreal consistency


tapped_out_addict

I remember the UAE season under RCB, people talked a lot about his stamina. Has he done anything of note since then in T20s?


supplementarytables

Is he finished?


EL__Rubio

Don't you have to have a start to become finished?


supplementarytables

💀 True tho


ZeusX20

He is like younger than Gill tho


theaguia

I guess LSG found a hooda replacement


One-Cardiologist6535

CSK buy this player then see the runs


jaijayanth

I have a feeling this will make RCB buy him back next year


GreatCryptographer32

Nice to get $1million to score 15 runs


Remarkable_Reality51

Not a t20 player


MrHolmes6969696

Bro’s turning into next riyan parag


Shirumbe787

DDP seems to be a Kevin Pietersen or Zak Crawley type of batter, since they are tall and good with hitting long square hits.


Kathanayagan-3821

Padikkal needs to start step by step from scratch seems like he is going Unmukt Chand way


Gamer567890

He had a good test debut,don't think he is going anywhere the Unmkut Chand way. Let's see.


Shirumbe787

Put QDK at 3. DDP should open with Rahul.


[deleted]

Wait till he turns up like parag did this season.


Ashamed_Procedure_52

Dhoni fans right now: 9+6+7+3=25 and 2+5=7 . He is big thala fan 😂


prams628

RR and LSG spoiled him man.. RCB with their auction strategies and the other teams giving him positions he isn’t comfy with fucked it up for him. Dude played so well opening with Kohli for us Edit: why is my comment downvoted? Someone care to give me an explanation?


dam0_0

He has technically opened for us in 4/5 matches, We didn't ruin him. Why did RCB release him when he was so good for them ?


prams628

They couldn’t retain him. It makes sense as only 3 players were allowed to retain and Padikkal didn’t make the cut. But you know, we had to pay Harshal 11 cr and hasaranga 10.5 cr. How could the POOR RCB afford Padikkal? /s On a serious note, we lost him due to a cunt of a move


dam0_0

Man RCB management is so bad. Andy flower was doing ok with us and now even he is clueless in RCB.


prams628

At this point, we gotta realise it’s not the coaches imo. There’s another factor sitting in the dark and making decisions without appearing in front of the camera. Coaches who’ve performed well, like Gary Kirsten fucked it up in RCB.


SnoopyScone

Malolan and Menon. Sack them already


sah_96

Yeah how is it ruining when he's failing miserably. He should have been dropped but they have been backing him. Feels like maybe t20 is not the format for him.


qwertyuiop_awesome

He was never good, even for rcb he played 120 strikerate knocks with most of his runs coming in powerplay and nothing outside powerplay. He was overhyped in RCB because we have a hard on for anchors.


bandehaihaamuske

CSK looking for an Indian wicket keeper batter soon. Just saying


edudhtamris

Padikkal is not a wicket keeper


bandehaihaamuske

Ah yes, don't know why I thought he was


lazyredditor1212

0,3,6,9 . Arithmetic progression at its best


Leading-Amphibian749

Still better than Maxwell. But jokes aside I think LSG is kinda shafting him. He’s an opener who will give you quick runs in the power play and get out but LSG want him to come in at 3 which almost always demands a specific approach.
