Kris Srikkanth Tears Into Ayush Badoni's IPL Struggles

Ayush Badoni is under the spotlight for all the wrong reasons in IPL 2026. After another disappointing outing, where he was dropped from the squad, former Indian cricketer Kris Srikkanth didn’t hold back. He slammed Badoni for his lack of innovation, stating, "He can’t even clear the inner circle and has only two shots to his name. Five years in the game, and that’s all we get?" Ouch!

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) are reeling after their seventh defeat, and Badoni's dismal stats aren’t helping. With just 172 runs at an average of 21.50, it's clear that something’s got to give. Srikkanth also pointed fingers at the overall management, questioning the effectiveness of LSG’s renowned coaching staff and the cluelessness in captain Rishabh Pant’s strategy.

Sadagoppan Ramesh chimed in, suggesting that Pant's captaincy pressure is adversely affecting his batting. With tactical blunders piling up, including questionable batting orders, it’s no wonder LSG is struggling. Can they turn this ship around before it's too late?
