Ayush Badoni, a batter, has played five IPL seasons, all of them with Lucknow Super Giants.

The arrival

Ayush Badoni arrived through the auction: Lucknow Super Giants paid ₹20 lakh, the base price. That debut came after going unsold three times (2019, 2020 and 2021).

That first season brought 13 matches, 161 runs and 2 wickets.

The peak

The high point with the bat was 2025, for Lucknow Super Giants: 329 runs at an average of 32.9, striking at 148.2 in a season when the league as a whole struck at 152.9, with 2 fifties, and a highest score of 74.

One franchise

Ayush Badoni has spent the whole IPL career with Lucknow Super Giants, from 2022 to 2026.

How the runs came

Across the career, Ayush Badoni has struck at 140.9. The league around those same seasons, weighted by how much batting each one involved, struck at 147.8, so Ayush Badoni has scored about 7 runs per hundred balls slower than the typical batter of the time, a trade usually made for longer innings. 57% of the runs came in fours and sixes: 96 fours and 47 sixes.

The ball-by-ball record adds the detail. 31.7% of the balls Ayush Badoni faced were dot balls, a lower share than 87% of the 140 batters who have faced 500 balls or more in the IPL. A six came every 17.8 balls, and a four every 8.7.

The fielding record: 18 catches and 2 run-outs.

At the auction

Ayush Badoni has gone under the hammer four times, bought once and left unsold three times. The price was ₹20 lakh, paid by Lucknow Super Giants in 2022. Unsold in 2019, Ayush Badoni was bought in 2022 by Lucknow Super Giants.

Seasons without an auction entry were played under a retention, a trade or a signing made outside the auction.

Where it stands

Ayush Badoni has made 66 IPL appearances, the latest for Lucknow Super Giants in 2026.
