As soon as he came, he showed aggressive attitude and hit tremendous shots all around the field and put pressure on the Punjab bowlers. Badoni was looking in great rhythm when Yuzvendra Chahal came to bowl the 7th over for Punjab.

Badoni tried to hit a cut shot on this ball of Chahal and the ball went straight into the gloves of wicketkeeper Prabhsimran Singh. After this, Badoni raised his back leg present at the crease in the air and Prabhasimran scattered the wickets in the blink of an eye and appealed for stumping. The third umpire saw in the replay that Badoni’s leg was in the air and he declared it out.
