Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Despite lasting all of four Test matches, At his best, Badani could be rather compact and elegant as a batsman driving in the V and had the composure and sense to make the adjustment in bouncier conditions with a more upright stance. However, Badani struggled with form and his neither-here-nor-there all-round performances left a lot to be desired. In fact, it was in the backdrop of the match-fixing scandal that broke out in 2000, Badani made his ODI debut in a game against Bangladesh in the Asia Cup.
The all-round southpaw received Indian Test cap number 237 on the morning of the first Test against Zimbabwe at Harare in 2001. Interestingly, he played as an opener on his Test debut as an experiment and struggled against the new ball. With a plethora of unconverted starts under his belt, Badani was quickly running out of time. At the 11th hour, he managed to score an ODI hundred against a mighty Australians at Pune in 2001. Alas, a fluid hundred from Mark Waugh upstaged Badani's knock as the Aussies chased down the total with utmost ease. With form abandoning him and the younger brigade of players that were being tried, Badani's career eventually faced a bit of a stampede and he was gone forever.
After signing up to play for the ICL in 2007, he was one of the banned players by the BCCI. He was forced to abandon the ICL and accept the BCCI's 'amnesty offer' to be given an NoC to play cricket in India's domestic fold again. He was one of the few players to get an IPL contract after being a part of the ICL, and was signed by the Chennai Super Kings during that time. He played his final first-class game for Vidarbha against Punjab in 2013 and decided to call it quits from professional cricket at the age of 37.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
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. He came back for one game against Pakistan, before once again going back to riding the pine. Badani's Test career, which began inexplicably as an opener in Zimbabwe in 2001, stalled after a further three (ordinary) matches against Sri Lanka later that year. He last played for India during the tour of Pakistan in 2004 and was out in the wilderness again. He jeopardised his career by signing for the rebel Indian Cricket League in 2007, representing the Chennai Superstars. He accepted the BCCI's amnesty offer and quit the league in 2009, along with a host of other Indian players. He played for Rajasthan in the 2009-10 Vijay Hazare Trophy and bagged an IPL contract with Chennai Super Kings.
