Hemang Kamal Badani (born 14 November 1976) is a former Indian cricketer who played Tests and ODIs.
Contents
Domestic career
He played for a period in the breakaway Indian Cricket League for the Chennai Superstars team. Therefore, he was ruled ineligible for mainstream cricket with Tamil Nadu and India during this time.
In 2007, Badani signed up for the Indian Cricket League. He quit the ICL in 2009 and made himself available for selection for the Indian Premier League, domestic cricket, and consideration for the Indian national cricket team after one year of quitting the ICL.
On 27 January 2010, he along with Tamil Nadu all-rounder C Ganapthy were selected by the Chennai Super Kings for the 2010 Indian Premier League but was not chosen in any of the matches. He plays for Vidarbha in Ranji Trophy.
International career
Hemang Badani is a polished middle-order batsman and a sleek fielder whose two years in international cricket were characterised by a calm head and inconsistency. At 23, Badani came into an Indian one-day side in the throes of change post match-fixing, and instantly seemed prepared for the void left down the order by the absence of Ajay Jadeja. Upright, and given to scoring in the V, Badani proved adept at remaining not out, and his high point was a wonderfully paced hundred against Australia at Pune in 2001-02. Subsequently, his form became patchy and he was edged out of the squad as other youngsters seized their day. Yet, a grinding hundred in the Ranji final of 2002-03, followed immediately by a good tour of England as vice-captain of the A team, meant he was in with a chance again.
His most famous innings was the ODI against Australia in the 2000–2001 series at Pune, where he scored a grittycentury. Sourav Ganguly, the then captain played Badani consistently for several more tours, mostly as middle-lower order batting all rounder who bowled left arm orthodox spin. He made several appearances before he was dropped from the ODI team in 2008.
