Watch: Ayush Badoni copies Virat Kohli to celebrate half-century during LSG vs CSK IPL match

LSG vs CSK, IPL 2023: Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) couldn't have a great start against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the 45th match of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 at Ekana Stadium. However, it was Ayush Badoni who lifted the team and helped it reach 125/7 in 19.2 overs. The 23-year-old batter also smashed a fifty with a six in the match. He was at 59 not out on 33 balls before the rain stopped the LSG vs CSK match.

Though Badoni won praise from all LSG fans, what caught their attention was his celebration after hitting 50 against CSK. The star player celebrated his half-century in Virat Kohli's style. On earlier occasions too, fans compared his celebration style with Kohli. Check out the video here:
