IPL 2023: "I Used To Go To Him With My Doubts, He Has Always Been There"- Narayan Jagadeesan On MS Dhoni During His Stint At CSK

In the domestic season, Narayan Jagadeesan has had an outstanding year. The Tamil Nadu batter got four hundreds in the Vijay Hazare one-day competition. He also played a 277-run innings in the tournament against Arunachal Pradesh, breaking Rohit Sharma’s List A record for most runs in an innings.

Jagadeesan was one of the players that gained attention in the Indian Premier League auctions, and he was eventually sold to Kolkata Knight Riders for Rs 90 lakh. Jagadeesan, who formerly played for the Chennai Super Kings, expressed excitement at joining the Kolkata-based team.

Narayan Jagadeesan Shares How MS Dhoni Was Always There For Him

After the auction, Jagadeesan told Rediff that he had a strong and close connection with Mahendra Singh Dhoni while at the Chennai Super Kings. 

“He gave me lots of advice when I was in CSK. I used to go to him with my doubts, he has always been there. He would give me technical tips about wicket-keeping and batting. He also explained technical aspects of the game,” Jagadeesan said.

When asked why the franchise let him leave, Jagadeesan stayed quiet. 

“The question should be directed to CSK. I am not looking forward to it. I am working on my game and trying to improve on it,” said Jagadeesan. 

I Had More Positive Attitude In The ODI: Narayan Jagadeesan

The right-handed hitter has had a fantastic season on the domestic circuit, scoring a tonne of runs in both white-ball categories. 

“I played the same game. In the T20 tournament, it was a difficult wicket. It was a low-scoring tournament. There was, of course, a mental shift, I had a more positive attitude in the ODI,” the player said.  

KKR may consider Jagadeesan as an intriguing possibility to combine with Venkatesh Iyer at the top of their order. In IPL 2022, the player batted in only two matches and scored 40 runs.
