The Story in Brief
Ayush Badoni, the 26-year-old Delhi batter, has acknowledged his below-par performance in the most recent IPL season for Lucknow Super Giants. Despite a promotion up the order, he managed only 215 runs in 10 matches at an average of 21.50. Badoni also struggled in the subsequent India-A tri-series, with scores of 24, 0 and 15.
Speaking ahead of the Delhi Premier League, Badoni said, 'The best is yet to come.' He cited team losses as affecting his motivation but pledged improvement. He noted that selectors have urged him to focus on consistency and develop his bowling. Badoni has played five IPL seasons for LSG, which finished last in 2026.
The Indian Opinion
IPL backers often inflate a player's potential before the results arrive. Badoni's five seasons at Lucknow have yet to yield a defining knock. Blaming team losses for individual dips is a tired shield; the selectors are simply watching for consistency. The real test will be whether he crosses 400 runs in next year's IPL, not just talk of a comeback.
