Ayush Badoni and Adarsh Khan shared a 73-run partnership for the eighth wicket, which is the highest in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL), to help Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) reach 167/7 from their 20 overs against Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium on Friday.
IPL 2024: Lucknow Super Giants vs Delhi Capitals – LIVE
Lucknow got off to a really good start with Quinton de Kock leading the charge. However, he had to depart after a few lusty blows and Devdutt Padikkal followed suit as his struggles continued this season. Mukesh Kumar snapping up both scalps. KL Rahul held one end firmly and was looking good but he did not get any support from the other end. The big hitters Marcus Stoinis and Nicholas Pooran fell to the spin magic of Kuldeep Yadav while the skipper also became his third victim. From 57-3, they suffered a huge collapse and were reeling at 94/7.
Ayush Badoni then took all the responsibility and stepped up when his side needed the most. He batted smartly with Arshad Khan and that record-breaking partnership took them to a respectable total. Badoni remained unbeaten on 55 of just 35 balls while Arshad Khan stayed not out on 20 off 16 balls.

“Enjoyed it. Wasn’t able to score in the last 3 innings. Feel blessed. Very thankful to the franchise for showing their support. This match I wanted to take it deep and build partnerships, tried to score off the bad balls,” Ayush Badoni said.
“Arshad (Khan) played a great supportive role, that helped us cross 160. Hopefully, we’ll defend the total and win this game,” he added.
