In a thrilling encounter at the Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara during the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025, cricket fans witnessed an extraordinary display of batting prowess from Tamil Nadu’s Narayan Jagadeesan. As Tamil Nadu pursued a target of 268 runs against Rajasthan, Jagadeesan’s explosive innings not only set the tone for the chase but also left spectators in awe with his remarkable ability to dominate the bowling attack.

A fiery start to Tamil Nadu’s chase

Tamil Nadu’s innings began under pressure as they lost early wickets, including Tushar Raheja and Vaishna Kumar. However, Jagadeesan quickly turned the tide with his aggressive batting style. In what would become a defining moment of the match, he targeted Rajasthan’s Aman Singh Shekhawat during the second over. The scorecard read a modest 10 runs when Jagadeesan unleashed a barrage of shots that would soon be etched in the ?memories of those present.

Narayan Jagadeesan smashes six consecutive boundaries

The second over of the innings became a spectacle as Jagadeesan ruthlessly attacked Shekhawat, scoring an astonishing 29 runs in just six legal deliveries. The over began with Shekhawat’s first ball being ruled a wide, followed by four additional wides that further compounded his woes. With the bowler struggling to find his line and length, Jagadeesan seized the opportunity, smashing six consecutive fours off the subsequent deliveries.

Shekhawat’s errors were glaring; his first three balls were short and wide, which Jagadeesan expertly dispatched through the off-side. The last three deliveries were too straight, allowing Jagadeesan to flick them effortlessly to the boundary. This over not only shifted momentum but also showcased Jagadeesan’s ability to capitalize on bowlers’ mistakes, reinforcing his reputation as one of Tamil Nadu’s most explosive batters.
