The 30-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman was cautious at the start but quickly took control of the match. He scored only 6 runs in the first 6 balls but hit two consecutive fours against Milind Kumar in the third over. Then he picked up 20 runs against the same bowler in the eighth over. Jagdeesan became more devastating after completing his 27-ball half-century and completed his century in the next 22 balls. He was eventually dismissed for 104 off 55 balls, which included 11 fours and 10 sixes.

Based on Jagdeesan’s explosive innings, India posted a huge score of 238 runs for 3 wickets in the allotted overs. Ayush Badoni played a stormy innings of 60 runs off 26 balls in the middle overs. Tilak Verma also contributed an important 38 runs. A collective batting performance put the US bowlers under a lot of pressure.

Although Narayan Jagadishan has not made his debut for the Indian national team yet, his performances in domestic cricket and IPL have always been eye-catching. He has played for KKR and CSK in the IPL and holds the historic innings record of 277 runs in List A cricket. He also scored consistently in the recently concluded Vijay Hazare Trophy. This century undoubtedly strengthened his claim for a chance in the international team.
