Aayush Badoni has been a real find for Lucknow as the youngster scored a half-century in the first match of the season and in a successful chase against CSK, the youngster smashed an unbeaten 19 off 9 to guide his team to a six-wicket win.

“Badoni, I’d seen a few videos, when you only get to see the good shots, but the way he’s been batting is phenomenal. Strong, 360-degree player, a great find for India and an asset for white-ball cricket. In these conditions you give yourself an over or two, capitalise on the powerplay, and a right-left [partnership] has advantages,” the LSG skipper said.

After registering their maiden win in the IPL, Lucknow Super Giants will now take on Sunrisers Hyderabad in their next encounter on April 4 at DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai.
