Narayan Jagadeesan scores 50* on Day 2 of IND A vs AUS A 1st unofficial Test

Narayan Jagadeesan continues his prolific form for the India A team as well. After the stumps of Day 2, the opener remains unbeaten for 50 off 95, powered by 5 fours and one over boundary.

Against Australia A team's first-innings mammoth 532 runs, the home team needs someone who can remain rock solid at one side of the crease. So far, Jagadeesan has proved to be the most prominent in such a situation. He was in prolific form during the Duleep Trophy 2025 for South Zone. He played a couple of key knocks for his team in the semifinal of the tournament against North Zone. The top-order batter scored 197 runs in the first innings and an unbeaten 52 in the second innings to confirm a ticket for the final match. In the final, South Zone felt the absence of Narayan Jagadeesan very much, mostly during their batting parts.

The batter is mostly known for his technical batting abilities, and as a deserving candidate, he got a call to join the India A team for the series against Australia A. As of now, the Tamil Nadu-born batter batted confidently at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.
