Former Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Tamil Nadu opening batsman Narayan Jagadeesan scripted history as the right-hand batsman went on to score a brilliant double hundred in a Vijay Hazare Trophy match.
Jagadeesan is a Indian wicketkeeper batsman who was a member of the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) team in the IPL but didn’t get a lot of opportunities and was released most recently.
However, the 26-years-old is currently in a great form and scoring runs for fun in the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy 2022 for Tamil Nadu. He scripted history today as he went on to score a double hundred, 277 runs from 141 balls to be precise.
With that, he also surpassed fellow Indian Rohit Sharma to become the highest individual run scorer in List-A cricket, that includes International and Domestic 50 overs game in all countries. This is also his 5th consecutive hundred in the tournament and overtook the likes of Virat Kohli, Ruturaj Gaikwad to topple them.
After his outrageous performance today, the Indian fans are now thinking big of him and many even rating him higher than Rohit Sharma at the moment, while many even mocked CSK for releasing him without giving him proper opportunity.

CSK lost a gem. He should have been given more chances like Ruturaj. Let's see if we can buy him again and use him in No.3 or No.4 batsman
