Vijay Hazare Trophy 2022 Group C: Jagadeesan smashes century as Tamil Nadu thumps Andhra Pradesh by nine wickets

The Hindu  

N. Jagadeesan scored a fine century as Tamil Nadu recorded a thumping nine-wicket victory over Andhra in a Vijay Hazare Trophy Group-C match at the Alur Grounds. The contest was still curtailed to a 47-overs-a-side affair because of a wet outfield, but for large tracts of the day, Tamil Nadu’s players held sway. He moved into the 80s with a pulled four and a hooked six off seamer Harishankar Reddy, before hitting left-arm spinner Manish Golamaru for a six over deep midwicket. Elsewhere, Kerala defeated Arunachal Pradesh by nine wickets as Rohan S. Kunnummal smashed an unbeaten 28-ball 77 in a 103-run chase.
