IPL 2025: It’s A Mental Shift You Need To Make In T20 Cricket, Says RCB's Padikkal
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) batter Devdutt Padikkal reflected on his transformed approach to T20 batting ahead of their crunch clash against Chennai Super Kings, saying “It’s a mental shift” that has helped him unlock a new level of consistency and explosiveness in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025.
Speaking in the pre-match press conference Padikkal opened up about how a change in mindset and better preparation ahead of the tournament have contributed to his vastly improved strike rate — 154.36 this season, compared to 71 in 2024 and an average in the 120s in the previous editions. “It’s a mental shift that you need to make when you come into T20 cricket. The game has evolved, and you have to keep up. I’ve also worked a lot on the shots I want to play,” Padikkal said.
The 23-year-old left-hander has been a revelation at the No. 3 spot for RCB this year, bringing much-needed stability and intent to the middle-order. And he admitted that having a clear role in the team structure has played a key part in this resurgence.
