In a display of sheer batting prowess, Ayush Badoni, the rising star of the Lucknow Super Giants in the Indian Premier League, has etched his name in the annals of Delhi cricket history. Playing for the South Delhi Superstars in the 23rd match of the Delhi Premier League, Badoni unleashed a devastating innings that left the North Delhi Strikers bowlers in tatters.
A Batting Masterclass
Badoni, known for his explosive performances in the IPL, once again showcased his talent on the domestic stage. Opening the batting for South Delhi, he launched an all-out assault on the North Delhi bowlers, smashing an unbelievable 165 runs off just 55 deliveries. His innings was punctuated by a staggering 19 sixes and only 8 fours, showcasing his ability to clear the boundary with ease. Badoni’s strike rate of over 300 was a testament to his sheer dominance on the day.
Badoni’s onslaught was complemented by an equally impressive innings from his opening partner, Priyanshu Arya. The duo put on a mind-boggling 286-run partnership, shattering the previous records for the highest opening stand in a T20 match. Arya, not to be overshadowed by Badoni, scored a blistering 120 off just 50 balls, which included 10 fours and 10 sixes. He also achieved the rare feat of hitting six consecutive sixes in an over, joining the elite club of Yuvraj Singh as the only Indians to accomplish this in a T20 match.
A Historic Total
The Badoni-Arya partnership laid the foundation for South Delhi’s mammoth total of 308/5 in their allotted 20 overs. This score not only shattered the previous record for the highest team total in a T20 match in India but also marked the first time a team has crossed the 300-run mark in a domestic T20 tournament. The North Delhi Strikers, despite their best efforts, were left chasing shadows as South Delhi’s bowlers defended their total with ease.
