Devdutt Padikkal began his IPL career with a bang as he smashed 56 off 42 balls for Royal Challengers Bangalore as they registered a 10 run win over 2016 winner Sunrisers Hyderabad. AB de Villiers was clinical for RCB as well as he smashed 51 off 30 balls as the Virat Kohli led side scored 163/5 in 20 overs. In reply, Sunrisers lost skipper David Warner early but the team looked on track at 121/2. But things spiralled out of control for Hyderabad as they lost their last 8 wickets for a mere 32 runs. Hyderabad were bowled out for 153 as RCB began their campaign with a 10 run win.
