Badoni’s financial trajectory in the IPL closely mirrors his rapid on-field development. The Lucknow franchise initially acquired his services during the 2022 mega auction for his modest base price of INR 20 lakh. Recognising his potential, LSG retained him at this same figure for the 2023 and 2024 campaigns as he gained crucial first-team experience.

Ahead of the 2025 season, acknowledging his increased value and maturity in closing out innings, LSG opted to retain Badoni for a significantly enhanced fee of INR 4 crore. He remains on this lucrative contract for the ongoing 2026 season, reflecting the management's long-term faith in his abilities as a core squad member.
