With this, the 26-year-old batter has equalled a rare world record and joined some of the biggest names in Indian cricket. Badoni has become only the third batter from Delhi to score double centuries in two consecutive First-Class innings. Earlier, Devdutt Padikkal revealed an illness that nearly ended his career.

The young skipper has joined former India captain Virat Kohli and current head coach Gautam Gambhir, who have smashed his second back-to-back double centuries in First-Class cricket. Overall, Badoni is the 21st Indian batter to achieve this remarkable feat in the Ranji Trophy.
