Ayush Badoni Credits All-Rounder Focus for Maiden India Call-Up; Boost for Lucknow Super Giants
Lucknow Super Giants' young talent Ayush Badoni has opened up about the strategic shift in his game that led to his recent maiden call-up to the Indian ODI squad as a replacement for Washington Sundar. Badoni revealed that his increased emphasis on developing his off-spin bowling over the last two years was the decisive factor in earning national recognition.
The 26-year-old, who has also captained the Delhi side recently, highlighted the value of being a dual threat. His consistent performances for Delhi in domestic tournaments, where he contributed both with the bat and by taking crucial wickets, solidified his position as a valuable all-rounder.
Badoni's successful transition is excellent news for LSG, providing them with a versatile middle-order option who can contribute vital overs. While he awaits his debut opportunity, the experience gained training alongside senior players is expected to further enhance his game ahead of the upcoming IPL season.
