Devdutt Padikkal has been one of the finds for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Dream11 IPL 2020 this season. The tall left-hander has already accumulated 321 runs from the 10 matches he has featured in so far at a staggering strike rate of 124.41. Clearly, the 20-year-old southpaw, who’s rated as a player to watch out for this season by cricket pundits, has grabbed eyeballs for his batting exploits.

Off the field, Padikkal too has been grabbing attention albeit for his new look. The bright young prospect took the famous #BreakTheBeard challenge after his team-mate and South Africa super star AB de Villiers dished out his new look earlier. Padikkal took fans by surprise as he displayed his new look on Instagram. “@abdevilliers17 thanks for being an icon on and off field! In awe of that style. Here is something of my own. Let’s see who can match that... @rahultewatia20 , @vijay_41 are you ready? #BreakTheBeard #GameFaceOn #ipl2020 #beard #newlook @break_the_beard,” he captioned the video. Similar to a Van Dyke style, his fans are cheering for this budding new shining star of RCB. Take a look at the video below shared by Padikkal.
