Padikkal who idolises Gambhir, said he would want to ‘emulate’ Gambhir’s ability to score in big matches. He always seemed to do that when the team was under pressure and that is something I would want to do," Padikkal told ANI. It is really great to see how he has started off the tournament and hopefully, he can continue to do this throughout the season. On Tuesday, global sports brand PUMA signed a long-term partnership deal with Washington Sundar and Padikkal. It is great to be acknowledged and know there are people who are there to support and really back you."
