Hemang Badani (Former Indian cricketer): Wife, Age, Records, ICL, Ban

Hemang Badani is a former Indian left-handed batsman who came into national team fold when the match-fixing allegations ruled Ajay Jadeja and Mohammad Azharuddin ineligible for Indian team selection. He was already a successful Ranji player when Indian team came calling for him for the 2000 Asia Cup in Bangladesh.

Badani went on to represent India in 40 One Day internationals, while his Test career lasted only four matches. His most important innings as an international cricketer came in 2000 when he struck a brilliant 98-ball 100 against Australia in Pune while batting mostly with the tailenders. But he failed to touch those heights again, and with new players coming into the fore, and his form fading, he soon lost his place in the Indian team and was forgotten forever. His last competitive game came in 2013 in the first-class game for Vidarbha against Punjab.
