N Jagadeesan smashes six consecutive boundaries in one over
In their chase of 268 runs, Tamil Nadu started off poorly, with Tushar Raheja scoring only 11 runs from 20 deliveries. However, wicketkeeper-batter Jagadeesan held his nerves and hit 65 runs in 52 balls at a strike rate of 125.00. Jagadeesan launched a stunning assault against Rajasthan’s pacer Aman Singh Shekhawat and scored 29 runs including a four off a wide in an over. After the over started with a boundary off a wide, Jagadeesan smashed Shekhawat for six successive fours.
Owing to his fiery form, he was able to reach his half-century in 33 balls with the help of nine fours. While Jagadeesan came up with fireworks with the bat, his knock couldn’t prove enough to help the side cross the victory line. The lower-middle order failed to contribute anything to the overall total and Rajasthan ended up winning the match by 19 runs.
