Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s (RCB) top-order batsman Devdutt Padikkal (37 off 22, 2x4, 3x6), who added 91 runs for the second wicket with opener Virat Kohli (67 off 42, 8x4, 2x6) to help the team set a huge target of 222 against MI, said he enjoyed batting with the former India and RCB skipper.

RCB, who are yet to win the IPL, beat MI by 12 runs at the Wankhede Stadium on Monday. “Batting with Virat is a pleasure. He’s done this over and over again for so many years. So, that’s the level of consistency that you aim for as a young cricketer playing the IPL. He [Kohli] makes it look easy, but it isn’t that easy to be honest, to come in every single year and get above 400-500 runs. As youngsters in the team, we are looking to learn from him,” Padikkal told reporters during a post-match press conference on Monday.
