Devdutt Padikkal (101 not out) was in carnage mode as his maiden IPL ton took Royal Challengers Bangalore to a resounding 10-wicket win over Rajasthan Royals in Mumbai. This was Bangalore’s fourth win on the trot as they moved back to the top spot in the points table. Chasing 178 on a flat Wankhede deck, Padikkal went all-guns blazing against the Rajasthan bowlers. Virat Kohli also smacked a power-packed 72 not out as Bangalore finished the chase with 21 balls to spare. Let’s see that how the Twitterati reacts on this massive partnership between Virat Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal:

Meanwhile, During the 16th match of the ongoing 14th season of the Indian Premier League between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Rajasthan Royals in Mumbai, Royal Challengers Bangalore beat Rajasthan Royals by 10 wickets in a thumping manner.
Chasing a 178-run target, Royal Challengers opening pair comprising of captain Virat Kohli and batsman Devdutt Padikkal put together a 181-run opening stand to seal the chase in the 17th over.
Earlier, it was Kohli who had won the toss and invited Rajasthan in to bat. Despite being reduced to 43/4 in the eighth over, Royals came back from behind to put on board a competitive 177/9 in 20 overs.
All-rounders Shivam Dube (46) and Rahul Tewatia (40) played vital counter-attacking knocks to give their bowlers a respectable total to bowl at.
