Ayush Badoni in IPL and DPL (Source: APL and @INDIANTEAMGROUP/X.com)
Ayush Badoni has been doing well in the Indian domestic circuit in the last few years. He has also played regularly for LSG in the IPL and has done well. However, the batter has not been at his best in the ongoing Delhi Premier League. Badoni is the captain of South Delhi Superstarz, and a lack of runs from his bat has also reflected in poor results for his team.
Ayush Badoni Departs Cheaply Against New Delhi Tigers
Now, in the game against New Delhi Tigers, the right-handed batter has failed again. He came out to bat at number 3 in the run-chase of 197 and could score just three runs from five balls. The impact player, Pradyuman Saman, got his wicket, and it is Badoni's consecutive single-digit score after his knock of 2 runs against Central Delhi on August 7.
Overall, Badoni has scored 78 runs in four innings so far at an average of 19.50. South Delhi Superstarz are yet to win a game in the series, and Badoni's early wicket against New Delhi Tigers has put his team on the back foot yet again.
Ayush Badoni And Co. Look To Replicate Magic Of 2024 Season
The performance of Ayush Badoni and South Delhi Superstarz in this season is a stark contrast to the dominance in the 2024 edition. In the previous season, Ayush Badoni was second in the list of leading run-scorers, hitting 522 runs in just nine innings. The LSG star scored his runs at an average of 58 and a strike rate of 225, and as a result, South Delhi Superstarz dominated and reached the final.
Badoni and South Delhi Superstarz would now be looking to change their fortunes in the rest of the tournament and take that upward flight on the points table. Badoni was in good form in IPL 2025 and has shown the talent to deliver under pressure in the past.
