"It's not a wicket where you can go from ball one"- Ayush Badoni after LSG reach 165/4 in 1st innings of IPL 2024 clash vs SRH
At the mid-innings break, LSG batter Ayush Badoni reflected on the action that unfolded during the first innings, saying:
"The wicket was on the slower side. I just wanted to take it deep and just play normal cricketing shots. I didn't want to throw my wicket away. It's not a wicket where you can go from ball one.
He continued:
"The bowlers were bowling short slower balls, so I was looking to find the gap on the shorter side. It's a good score if the dew doesn't come, I think our bowlers will defend it. As of now, there's no dew."
