Tamil Nadu wicketkeeper-batter Narayan Jagadeesan, who scored an unbeaten 245 in Tamil Nadu's Ranji Trophy match against Railways, said, "Since the first match of this season...there was an axe on my head." "Playing defensive...[is not] my game...If someone wants to axe you, you might as well...throw your bat," he added. "It was definitely a big mental battle," he stated.
