In the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 clash between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow, Devdutt Padikkal once again found himself struggling at the crease, sparking reactions from fans on Twitter. Padikkal’s poor form in the tournament continued as he failed to make an impact yet again, adding to his string of low scores.
Despite high expectations, the young batter has struggled to find his rhythm and has faced difficulties in facing the opposition bowlers. During the game against Delhi Capitals, Padikkal fell victim to Khaleel Ahmed’s bowling prowess, getting dismissed for just 3 runs off 6 balls.

It marked another instance of Padikkal’s inability to convert opportunities into significant contributions for his team. With this latest low score, Padikkal’s tally in IPL 2024 remains disappointing, raising questions about his place in the team’s lineup.
Considering the depth of talent available to Lucknow Super Giants, it wouldn’t be surprising if changes are made to the batting order in upcoming matches. As Padikkal’s struggles persisted, fans took to Twitter to express their disappointment and frustration.

Padikkal quite lucky to be still in the side, maybe not after this.

Devdutt Padikkal has been absolutely terrible.
His scores: 3, 7, 6, 9, 0. Making Deepak Honda’s last season look better.

What’s going on with Devdutt Padikkal? He had an incredible domestic season, but now it seems like he’s forgotten how to hold the bat.
