• Chopra termed Badoni's selection an "unpopular choice" due to his limited List A cricket record but acknowledged his economical spin bowling for Delhi.
• Badoni, despite struggling with the bat in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, has delivered effective bowling spells, including 3/30 against Railways.
• In 27 List A matches, Badoni has scored 693 runs at an average of 36.47 and taken 18 wickets at an average of 29.72.
