Tamil Nadu wicketkeeper-batter Narayan Jagadeesan has brought up his second successive double-ton in the ongoing Ranji Trophy season. While he slammed 245* in his preceding outing against Railways, he has breached the 200-run mark once again in the ongoing clash against Chandigarh in Coimbatore. Overall, this was his eighth ton in the format. Here we look at his stats.
A stellar knock from Jagadeesan
On a track where Chandigarh were folded for 111 batting first, TN were off to a decent start with openers Jagadeesan and B Sachin adding 45 runs. The former then recorded a double-century stand (233) with fellow centurion Pradosh Ranjan Paul (105). He added 100-plus runs with Baba Indrajith as well. Jagadeesan showcased remarkable intent as he scored runs all over the park.
Here are his FC numbers
