Devdutt Padikkal's struggles continued as he failed to make an impact for his team in the ongoing IPL 2024 season. Despite being dropped in previous matches, his return to the crease didn't yield the desired results. His woes reached a peak during a crucial encounter against Chennai Super Kings at the iconic M.A. Chidambaram Stadium.

CSK had set a formidable target of 210 runs for the visitors. In the chase, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) lost early wickets including that of Quinton de Kock and skipper KL Rahul. As pressure mounted, all eyes were on Padikkal to deliver, but fate had other plans.

The defining moment of the match came in the 11th over when Matheesha Pathirana unleashed a searing delivery clocking at 151.1kph. Padikkal, struggling to find form, was left in dismay as the ball crashed into his leg stump, sending it cartwheeling.
