Not many fans knew about the talent of Ayush Badoni prior to the match between the Lucknow Super Giants and the Gujarat Titans in the 2022 edition of the Indian Premier League. But now everyone is talking about the young lad because of his impressive innings on his Indian Premier League debut.
Playing for the new Lucknow Super Giants franchise on his Indian Premier League debut, Badoni came out to bat when the score was 32/4. Many fans were surprised when the team management of the Lucknow Super Giants decided to send Badoni above the experienced all-rounder Krunal Pandya who had played a lot of matches at the Wankhede Stadium in the past.
Also, more questions were being raised when Badoni played too many dot balls in the middle. However, the youngster silenced all his critics in style with a magnificent batting performance against the Gujarat Titans team. He switched to destruction mode when the Gujarat Titans captain Hardik Pandya came in to bowl his over as he smacked him for a startling boundary in the fine leg region.
Just like former Royal Challengers Bangalore wicket-keeper batter AB de Villiers would score runs across the ground, Badoni showed that he can score runs with cheeky shots as well.
Fans on Twitter praised Ayush Badoni for his spectacular batting performance
Ayush would have been nervous on his Indian Premier League, especially considering the situation where he came in to bat. But he earned everyone’s respect with his batting. Here’s how Twitter reacted to his knock:
Now everyone will know who Ayush Badoni is! Finish it strong young lad! #IPL2022 #LSGvGT

Never doubt when Gambhir recognises Talent. Ayush Badoni👏

Remember in 2012, Gambhir said , India never had produced a Talent like Rohit Sharma.
The day Rishabh Pant scored a 💯 in U19 WC QF in Fatullah, a joyous Tarak sir called me up in Dhaka and said: “Arani, Ayush ne aur ek bada 💯 mara Delhi U16 ke liye.”

Still remember that little kid wearing oversized pads. He spoke less and was wronged by Delhi. #Badoni #IPL2022
