Until Friday, it may be said that N. Jagadeesan had a lacklustre domestic season with Tamil Nadu. He played only two matches and batted lower down the order in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, and had meagre returns in the Vijay Hazare Trophy.
Even in the ongoing Ranji Trophy, he didn’t substantially score batting at No. 7 and 8 versus Gujarat and didn’t get to bat at all versus Tripura. He felt relieved with his effort as an opener in the first innings of the third-round match versus Railways.
“When they told me that I’m gonna open the innings, I was really happy. I’m just happy that Sai (Kishore) had the faith in me to make me open,” he said after the first day’s play on Friday.
