In the current Vijay Hazare Trophy (VHT), former Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) wicketkeeper-batsman Narayan Jagadeesan, who was unsold in the IPL 2025 auction, has made a spectacular return by displaying his batting prowess.
During the match between Tamil Nadu (TN) and Rajasthan (RAJ), Jagadeesan, who played for KKR in the 2023 Indian Premier League, accomplished an amazing accomplishment by hitting six consecutive boundaries in one over. The 29-year-old’s brilliant performance earned him 29 runs in that over, giving TN a solid start after RAJ bowler Aman Shekhawat gave up five early wickets. Jagadeesan scored 65 runs off of 52 balls to end his innings.
Jagadeesan gave Tamil Nadu a solid start in the match as they attempted to reach 268 runs, but they were ultimately defeated by 19 runs. This season, the gifted batter from Tamil Nadu has been playing at a very high level. With 280 runs in 7 games, an average of 40, and an outstanding strike rate of 163.74, he was his state team’s leading scorer in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT).
With 303 runs in six games at a remarkable average of 60.60, Jagadeesan continues to be Tamil Nadu’s top scorer in the current VHT. The powerful right-hander further proved his value during the first half of the Ranji Trophy 2024–25 season, topping the Tamil Nadu rankings with 453 runs in seven innings at an outstanding average of 75.50.
With 303 runs in six games at an incredible average of 60.60, Jagadeesan is Tamil Nadu’s leading run scorer in the current VHT. The athletic right-hander further demonstrated his worth in the early stages of the Ranji Trophy 2024–25 season when he topped the Tamil Nadu run charts with 453 runs in seven innings while keeping an outstanding average of 75.50.
According to his recent performance, Jagadeesan is playing at a very high level. IPL clubs would probably reconsider their choice to pass on him in the auction due to his outstanding batting, especially in white-ball forms like the VHT.
