Jagadishan missed with double century
North Zone won the toss at the beginning of the match and invited South Zone to bat first. Narayan Jagadishan, who came out to start the innings for South Zone, scored fiercely. Jagadishan completed his century by facing 184 balls on the first day of the game. He batted very carefully and on the second day of the game also froze at the crease. He took 262 balls to touch the 159 -run mark. But after reaching the score of 197 runs, he overshadowed a mistake. Actually, he lost his wicket after running out.
Narayan Jagadishan faced a total of 352 balls in this innings and scored 197 runs. His innings included 16 fours and 2 sixes. In such a situation, he looked quite disappointed after being dismissed. He had a big chance to complete a double century. Let me tell you, Narayan Jagadishan was recently included in Team India for the last match of the Test series on England tour. He came to the team in place of Rishabh Pant, but could not debut.
This happened for the second time in two days
The Duleep Trophy has happened for the second consecutive day in 2025 semifile matches when a batsman has missed a double century. Prior to Narayan Jagadishan, Rituraj Gaikwad was also 16 runs away from completing a double century. West Zone batsman Rituraj Gaikwad scored 184 runs in the first innings against the Central Zone, facing 206 balls. Which included 25 fours and 1 six.
