18 sixes. May be you are not believing it after reading all this. So don't. But this has definitely happened. In the match we are talking about, 18 sixes were hit and mayhem was also seen in 20 balls. But, the twist in the story is that these two things are different even though they are connected to each other. The batsman who has done this is Gautam Gambhir's favorite. He has also won the heart of Rahul Dravid. He has even swallowed the bitter cup of insult at the hands of his team. We are talking about Ayush Badoni, who created such havoc in the Delhi Premier League 2024 i.e. DPL that everyone kept watching.

Ayush Badoni's havoc in 20 balls

Ayush Badoni created havoc while playing for South Delhi Superstars in a match against Old Delhi on the evening of 26 August. He created such havoc with the bat that the impact of his innings did not diminish even after fellow player Priyansh Arya scored a century. And, Ayush Badoni did all this by creating havoc in just 20 balls.

6 sixes, 3 fours and 56 runs… just 20 balls

Ayush Badoni batted with a strike rate of 280 in 20 balls. He hit more sixes than fours in his innings and scored 56 runs while doing so. This explosive innings of 56 runs by Ayush Badoni was filled with 6 sixes and 3 fours.

Ayush Badoni's team hit 18 sixes together

Those 6 sixes hit by Ayush Badoni in 20 balls were part of the 18 sixes that South Delhi Superstars hit in their innings. Priyansh Arya hit the maximum number of 7 sixes from South Delhi Superstars. After that Ayush Badoni hit 6 sixes. Apart from these two, 3 sixes were hit by Sarthak Ray and 2 sixes were hit by Tejaswi.

The team was left in the hotel room

Ayush Badoni was humiliated by his Delhi Ranji team before IPL 2024. They locked him in the hotel room and went to watch the match. This happened when he was the main batsman of the team. Even the officials of the Delhi Ranji team had excluded him from the list of top 15 players, so that he does not get any match fee. However, after recovering from that humiliation, he is consistently performing well not only in IPL 2024 but now also in DPL 2024.
