The teachings of the greats for Jagadeesan

“It’s always a special feeling when you have a cricket chat with Hussey. He is someone who has proved himself across formats and is called Mr. Cricket for a reason. It’s always good to pick his brains and learn a new sets of tricks. I asked him the way he would go about playing a bowler, especially when he wants to attack him. There are so many players like me who are not able to clear the boundary line at will. I have been working on that and I am looking to get a similar mentality of how he approached it,” he said.

Jagadeesan also talked about the inputs which he got from MS Dhoni, Indian wicketkeeper-batsman and also mentioned playing for CSK as a special moment in his career.

“I was asking him about my weak points and how he would have tackled those situations. He also spoke about how he focuses on his ‘keeping and gave me inputs on how to get better. Being picked up by CSK is really special, especially with me playing for Tamil Nadu and now playing for the Lions,” the Tamil Nadu cricketer added.
