RCB star Devdutt Padikkal relives his India call-up
It was definitely a very exciting experience for me to be part of that group and just looking to learn and improve. It was our first tour for quite a few of us and everyone just wanted to learn and pick up whatever they can from each other and the seniors in the squad. It was a really good experience.
KS Bharat was in the same plane as former India great Sunil Gavaskar
When I was 18 or 19, I was traveling from Mumbai to Vizag and on the very same flight, Sunil Gavaskar was on the plane, and I thought whether I could go say hello to him or not, but then i was very hesitant to go and say hello. Even today I feel I should have gone up to him and said hello.

RCB's run in IPL 2021
RCB made a great start to the latest edition of the IPL, winning five of their seven games. They were third in the points table behind the Delhi Capitals and Chennai Super Kings when the season was suspended back in April.
Their IPL 2021 campaign was bolstered by the arrival of Glenn Maxwell and Jamieson. Both players positively impacted their batting and bowling fronts, respectively.
RCB will be hoping their stars continue in the same vein when the remainder of the IPL resumes in the UAE.
