Tamil Nadu wicketkeeper-batter Narayan Jagadeesan played a defining knock but eventually fell just three runs short of completing his double century in the ongoing Duleep Trophy 2025 semi-final match against North Zone.

Facing 352 deliveries, the right-hander scored 197 runs, including 16 boundaries and two maximums.

Earlier, he received a call-up to Team India during the fifth Test match against England. Jagadeesan got his break when he was sent to London as an injury replacement for Rishabh Pant. Although he did not get a chance to showcase his skillset, his inclusion marked his first stint with the national team.
