SRH vs LSG IPL 2023: Why is Ayush Badoni Not Playing Today IPL Match? Check LSG Playing XI

The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) have once again not kept in-form batsman Ayush Badoni in their starting XI for their 12th game of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2023) against the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) being played at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. It will be really important for the Lucknow Super Giants to make a strong winning comeback especially after a convincing 56-run defeat at the hands of Gujarat Titans in their last match of the IPL 2023 season. LSG are currently occupying the fifth position on the points table with as many as 5 wins from a total of 11 games.

SRH vs LSG IPL 2023: Why is Ayush Badoni Not Playing Today IPL Match?

During the toss, it was revealed that Ayush Badoni is not part of the starting LSG playing 11 for this SRH vs LSG match on Saturday. Interestingly, the right-handed swashbuckling batsman is once again part of the five substitutes out of which one can be used as an Impact Player at any moment in the game. Badoni smashed a wonderful fifty in the match against Chennai Super Kings and also scored 21 runs off 11 balls against Gujarat Titans. Ayush has notched up a total of 212 runs from 11 matches in the Indian Premier League 2023 season so far at an excellent strike-rate of over 147. Thus, he is very much likely to be drafted as the Impact Player for LSG in this game against Sunrisers Hyderabad.

“We would have batted first as well, but I don’t mind (bowling) either. It has been an up and down season for us. You have to play good cricket, that’s what matters. The wicket looks good and it will play the same. We have a couple of changes. Prerak and Yudhvir are in for Hooda and Mohsin,” said Lucknow Super Giants captain Krunal Pandya during the toss.
