2025 has been memorable to Tamil Nadu Wicketkeeper N Jagadeanan. He was recently chosen in India’s side for the fifth test against England after Rishabh Pant was excluded due to an injury. Although the 29-year-old did not get a chance to make his international debut, he celebrated his first India call-up by breaking a century in the current semi-final clash between North Zone and South Zone in the Duleep trophy in the BCCI Center of Excellence Ground in Bengaluru.
While opening the Batting, the 197 of 352 balls born in Coimbatore gained and hit 16 four and two sixes. His enchanting knock helped Mohammed Azharuddeen-guided South Zone achieved a huge score of the first innings of 536 at the end of day 2.
After the end of the game of the day, Jagadeesan said that he is grateful for the opportunities he gets, playing in tournaments such as the Duleep trophy and the ranji trophy, which is a dream for many.
“If I start thinking about that, that’s just busy. I am here to just enjoy the sport and to ensure that I enjoy every match I can play. I have to be grateful for the chance I get here because there are a billion people who want to play by NDTV Sports.
“So, you know, it’s not just about your own versions, but it’s also about how the team combination is and all other things. So there are many X factors. So it’s about staying in the present and not to think about the future,” he added.
It’s just about enjoying the sport until the day I play: Jagadeesan
Jagadeesan said he only takes the positive points of his call-up in India and is looking to enjoy while playing the beautiful sport.
“It’s just about enjoying the sport until the day I play. When I got the Indian call-up … I think I just have to get the positive things out in terms of more self-confident. I was lucky that I was there. And I think I just have to take, you know what trust in it and, you know, you can translate that,” He could add. “
