Against Rajasthan, Padikkal once again played a pivotal role, compiling a fluent 91 off 82 deliveries, laced with 12 boundaries and two sixes, as he anchored Karnataka’s innings during a commanding 184-run opening stand with skipper Mayank Agarwal.
The pair gave Karnataka a dominant start, laying a solid foundation after Rajasthan chose to field. Padikkal, who has represented India in two Tests and two T20Is, is set to feature for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the IPL 2026.
He was retained by the franchise despite being sidelined midway through last season with a hamstring injury, and a strong campaign could see Padikkal push for a return to the Indian side.
