Ayush Badoni has earned his maiden call-up to Team India for the remaining ODIs against New Zealand. The selection has sparked criticism of head coach Gautam Gambhir, with accusations of favoritism from fans.

Badoni's inclusion comes due to Washington Sundar's injury, based on his domestic performances. Keywords highlight his career in IPL 2025, List A cricket, Vijay Hazare Trophy, Ranji Trophy, and Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. However, fans believe the pick may be biased.

This controversy arises during the India vs New Zealand ODI series, where discussions on Team India's strategy are ongoing.
