Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) opener Devdutt Padikkal has been impressive in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020. The 20-over-old has scored three half-centuries in four matches.

In the clash against Rajasthan Royals (RR), the youngster piled up a 99-run partnership with skipper Virat Kohli before getting out on 63 runs. Padikkal played a flick off his pads against pacer Jaydev Unadkat which went for a six and it reminded everyone of former India explosive left-handed batsman Yuvraj Singh. 

Yuvraj acknowledged the beauty of the shot on Twitter and lauded Devdutt along with Virat. Kohli was looked out of touch in the first three matches but he smashed 72* against Rajasthan.

The former India cricketer said he has never seen Virat out of form. Adding more to the tweet, Yuvraj also threw a challenge at Paddikal to see who can hit bigger sixes.

"Form is temporary class is forever! @imVkohli however I haven’t seen this boy out of form since last 8 years which is unbelievable actually. Paddikal looks really good need to bat together and see who hits longer ????", wrote Yuvraj.

Devdutt quoted Yuvraj's tweet after the match and he expressed his desire to bat with him. The youngster also admitted that he has learned the shot from him.

Bangalore is currently at the second spot in the points table, they came to the top after defeating Rajasthan by 8 wickets on Saturday. But Delhi Capitals' win against Kolkata Knight Riders brought them at top.
