WATCH: 22 Year Old Ayush Badoni Smacks A Six Against Spin-Master Rashid Khan

IPL 2022 GT vs LSG: Game of cricket - once we see the likes of KL Rahul, Quinton de Kock and Evin Lewis get dismissed cheaply, and yet moments later, a rather unknown name smacks the bowler for a six while playing a crucial knock for his team. 

A 22-year-old boy from Delhi, Ayush Badani, performed in a way for Lucknow Super Giants that reminded cricket fans why we like this sport to such an extent. After LSG were struggling at 29/4 in 4.3 overs, the right-handed batter held the crease along with Deepak Hooda (55) and helped LSG to a defendable total.

In his innings off 54 runs of 41 balls, Badoni smacked 3 sixes. One of them was smacked against the master-spinner from Afghanistan, Rashid Khan. On the 3rd delivery of the 16th over, Badoni picked the googly early bowled by Rashid Khan and took on the longest part of the ground. The Delhi-batter went down on his knees and slog-swept the ball with plenty of power, clearing mid-wicket with ease.
