South Delhi Superstarz skipper Ayush Badoni, who hit a record 19 sixes, believes his ability to time the ball is the reason behind a record-smashing 55-ball 165 runs effort in the Delhi Premier League match against North Delhi Strikers

The 24-year-old right-hander's superb effort guided his team to a 112-run win

Ayush, who also shared a 286-run partnership with opener Priyansh Arya for the second wicket, bettered the record for most sixes by a batter in an innings which stood in the name of West Indies great Chris Gayle and Estonia's Sahil Chauhan

Chris Gayle and Sahil Chauhan both registered 18 sixes against Dynamites and Cyprus, respectively

Badoni has led South Delhi Superstarz from the front. He along with Priyansh Arya has amassed 1,091 runs in the inaugural edition of the Delhi Premier League
