KKR vs GT Live: IPL 2023: After a great domestic season with Tamil Nadu, it was expected that Narayan Jagadeesan will do wonders in IPL 2023. However, the youngster has struggled to replicate his domestic form in the ongoing IPL 2023 so far. The KKR opener again had a failed outing as he was dismissed on 19 against Gujarat Titans.

After hitting a couple of boundaries and getting dropped on 9, Jagadeesan couldn’t capitalise and was dismissed by Mohammad Shami in the 3rd over.
Jagadeesan was on 19 off 15 balls and was under pressure to up the tempo but failed to connect a straight delivery, which resulted in his LBW.
Notably, the Tamil Nadu batter has played 5 matches so far for the Kolkata Knight Riders side and has scored just 70 runs at an average of a mere 14.
Netizens lost their patience after another failed performance by Jagadeesan and took to social media to express their frustrations at the player’s string of poor performances. Many questioned KKR management for giving the Tamil Nadu batter too many chances and others lambasted the youngster for not showing any sign to improve his form.
Check out some of the reactions:

If you want N Jagadeesan’s best in the game then you need to drop him from playing XI.#KKRvGT

Still a mystery how come N Jagadeesan was able to score mammoth in recent domestic matches and here as an opener he has no clue how to play the ball, worst batter in the top 3 to play #IPL #KKRvGT
