India ‘A’ wicket-keeper batter N Jagadeesan put up a brilliant show with the bat against USA in the T20 World Cup 2026 warm-up fixture in Mumbai on Monday. Batting first the home side posted 238/3 in 20 overs.
Jagadeesan and Priyansh Arya provided a brisk start to the team and put up 43 runs for the first wicket in 4 overs. Arya struck a quick-fire 28 off 13 before getting out.
Jagadeesan was then joined by Tilak Varma who returned to action after a forced break due to injury. The two batters then stitched a partnership of 113 runs for the second wicket. The left-handed batter who is also a part of the Indian squad for T20 World Cup 2026 was eventually out for 38 off 24. Jagadeesan though continued his form and went on to smash 104 off 55, a knock decorated with four maximums and 11 fours.
An innings full of class! 👏

Covering sports for fun. Cricket in whites remains the first love—the kind that teaches patience, rewards nuance, and tells stories over five days rather than five seconds.
