N Jagadeesan produced a blistering onslaught in only the second over of the game, but it wasn't enough for Tamil Nadu to seal a quarter-final berth.

Tamil Nadu’s Narayan Jagadeesan delivered a breathtaking display of batting during their pre-quarterfinal match against Rajasthan in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25 on Thursday, smashing six consecutive boundaries off Rajasthan’s Aman Shekhawat, taking the attack to the opposition from the very outset.

The over began with Shekhawat conceding five wides on the first ball, before Jagadeesan got off the mark with a thick outside edge that flew over the slip cordon for a boundary. He then found his rhythm, hitting a perfect drive to point for a second consecutive four.

Shekhawat responded by short-pitching the third delivery, and Jagadeesan pounced, sending it towards third man for a third boundary in a row. He continued his onslaught, cutting the fourth ball to deep point for another four, before pulling the fifth delivery to deep square leg.

The right-handed batter completed his remarkable feat with a fine leg boundary on the final ball, registering six consecutive fours in the over and a total of 29 runs off it.
