So, without any further ado, let’s take a sneak peek into the names:

1. Devdutt Padikkal

The Karnataka-based cricketer Padikkal has been one of the biggest finds of the 13th IPL. True to his potential, the budding talent has displayed the propensity of a calm and poised persona in the middle. Hence, Royal Challengers Bangalore identified the young talent and bought him at the cost of 20 lakhs. Without a shade of doubt, he has put his best foot forward on the 22 yards.

The southpaw has mustered 472 runs in the 14 innings as an opener for the Virat Kohli-led side. To his credit, the about-to-become superstar has set up the solid foundation stone for the red outfit in almost every match. Eventually, the exuberant youngster has been handed over the opportunity to play his natural game despite having experienced Parthiv Patel in the squad.

Hence, it comes as no surprise that Devdutt features as a dashing opener for the dream team due to his impeccable rendition with the willow. Moreover, if his bat continues to talk persistently, days aren’t far that he may don the Indian cap under the leadership of Virat Kohli.
