Tamil Nadu Wicketkeeper-Batter N. Jagadeesan On Friday only three points for a double century for the South Zone in the semi-final of Duleep Trophy against North Zone in the BCCI Center of Excellence.
The 29-year-old was hit on the second day to 197-year-old, with Ricky Bhui on the other side.
A double ton would have been the third of Jagadeesan in first -class cricket. His highest score remains 321, scored against Chandigarh in the Ranji trophy in 2024. Only 10 batters have held double centuries for South Zone.
Jagadeesan, however, continued his purple patch with these innings. Last season he had collected 674 points in 13 innings in the Ranji trophy on an average of 56, including two centuries and five half centures.
His productive form also earned him a call-up for the Indian team as a replacement for rishabh pant for the fifth test on the English tour.
