In the latest events, Badoni spoke to the press ahead of the much-anticipated clash and expressed his excitement to play alongside Virat.
Further, Badoni was also asked about the challenges that come along with leading the side with seniors like Virat who is giving him instructions on the field. When asked about how will Badoni ask Virat where to field, the LSG star replied that it is up to Kohli where he wants to stand.
Badoni was humble enough to did not fall to reporter's trap to get something exclusive out of Badoni. Further, the LSG star also confirmed Kohli's batting order and remarked that India star batter will bat at No.4
"He will bat at No. 4. He has told us to be positive and express ourselves confidently. I have played against Virat Bhaiyya in the IPL. It is an honour that in back-to-back matches I have now led Rishabh and Virat bhaiyya," Badoni told ANI.
It is worth noting that the upcoming match is the last Ranji Trophy league stage and Virat will join the Indian team for the upcoming ODIs against England.
