The Delhi Capitals head coach also emphasized the importance of consistency in cricket. ‘One day you’re on top of the world, and the next you’re struggling to find your feet,’ he said. ‘But we know that consistency is key, and we’re working hard to make sure we’re playing our best cricket every day.’
Badani also expressed gratitude to the team’s fans, who he said have been supportive throughout the team’s challenging start to the season. ‘Our fans have been fantastic, and we’re grateful for their support,’ he said. ‘We know they’re the reason we’re able to give our best every day.’
