GT vs LSG: Why is Ayush Badoni Not Playing Today’s Match IPL?

During the toss, it was revealed that Ayush Badoni is not part of the starting LSG playing 11 for this GT vs LSG match on Sunday. Incidentally, he is part of the five substitute members out of which one can be used as an Impact Player at any moment in the game. Badoni played an impactful unbeaten innings of 59 runs off just 33 balls that included 4 sixes and 2 fours in some tough batting conditions and most importantly when the Lucknow Super Giants had lost key wickets quite early in the last game against Chennai Super Kings. Therefore, the right-hander will definitely be drafted as the Impact Player for LSG in this game against Gujarat Titans.

“We will bowl first. It’s a dream come true for us, leading our respective sides. Overall the wicket will play the same. We have a good batting side, and we fancy our chance to chase down the total. We have played good cricket, and we stand at a good stage in the points table. de Kock is in, Naveen misses out,” said Lucknow Super Giants captain Krunal Pandya.
