The Delhi lad was scouted by Gambhir himself, and following his fantastic debut, he gave the former Indian cricketer credit for trusting him with a big responsibility “Gautam bhaiya backed me a lot. He told me to play just my natural game. He told me you won’t get the one-odd match, but you will get a proper run. He also told me, ‘you don’t need to play according to the situation. There are senior players to do that. You show us your natural game,” Badoni said after the match.
“In the practice matches for Lucknow, I scored fifties in both the games. Gautam bhaiya liked that, and the other coaches were impressed too. So they believed I could bat ahead of Krunal,” he further added.

IPL 2022: On the other hand, while Badoni scored a half-century in his IPL debut, it was not of much use as KL Rahul’s team started their IPL journey with a defeat against another newly-formed franchise – Gujarat Titans. LSG batted first and scored 158 runs, but Hardik Pandya’s Titans chased the total down in 19.4 overs, courtesy of sublime knocks from Rahul Tewatia and David Miller.
