The Ranji Trophy match between Delhi and Railways saw Delhi captain Ayush Badoni fall just short of a century, dismissed for 99 off 77 balls. His knock included 12 fours and 3 sixes, helping Delhi recover from a difficult position at 86/3. Badoni’s 133-run partnership with Sumit Mathur for the fifth wicket steadied the innings after Virat Kohli’s dismissal for just 6 runs.
Badoni’s impressive form continues in the 2025 season, having scored 499 runs in five matches at an average of 83.16, making him Delhi’s leading run-scorer. Delhi had previously suffered a 10-wicket defeat against Saurashtra, but Badoni’s all-round contributions have been vital. He is also Delhi’s leading wicket-taker with 12 wickets at an average of 14.16.
