“I also share a good bond with Justin Langer. I also went to Australia last year, where Justin taught me many things and helped me improve my game,” Badoni said in the press conference.

Badoni revealed how Langer helped him hone his skills on bouncy pitches in Australia.

“I went to Australia in September where we had training with Justin Langer sponsored by Lucknow Super Giants. I was with Justin for about one week to 10 days there. He helped me enhance by batting. That helped me a great deal,” he added.

Th 24-year-old from Delhi revealed skipper KL Rahul has always backed him to the hilt.

“I have many conversations with KL Rahul. He always backs me. He tells me that ‘You are the best player and you can finish games well,” Badoni said.

“The start of the season wasn’t good for me, but I was doing well in the nets. I was confident. I am thankful to KL Rahul and Justin Langer who continued to back me,” he added.

Lucknow Super Giants will next take on Kolkata Knight Riders at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata on Sunday.
