Badoni was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times, “After the IPL, I have practised a lot to try and hit spinners against sixes. I have also trained a lot against the newer ball. I like to bat at No.3 or 4. That is helping in DPL."

He added, "DPL is a great platform for youngsters to showcase their talent and try to get into Delhi’s team and even IPL. I see this like a mini-IPL for myself. It is good practice for the IPL."
