The opening day of the Duleep Trophy 2025 semi-finals in Bengaluru was headlined by two commanding centuries from Ruturaj Gaikwad and Narayan Jagadeesan, even as Shreyas Iyer’s comeback bid faltered. South Zone closed Day 1 at a strong 297 for 3 against North Zone, while West Zone, riding on Gaikwad’s brilliance, reached 363 for 6 against Central Zone. Yashasvi Jaiswal failed as well, with a strong West Zone unit only saved by Gaikwad’s daddy ton.
Jagadeesan anchors South Zone
Asked to bat first by North Zone, South Zone’s openers gave a steady start and ensured there were no early jitters. Tanmay Agarwal (43) and Devdutt Padikkal (57) both chipped in with valuable contributions, but it was Narayan Jagadeesan who stole the day’s honours. The Tamil Nadu batter carried his bat through the entire day to finish unbeaten on 148, making sure South Zone remained in control despite a few interruptions for bad light.
Jagadeesan combined discipline, punishing the loose deliveries while keeping North Zone’s bowlers at bay for long stretches. His partnerships defined the day – 103 with Agarwal for the first wicket and another 123 with Padikkal for the second. The North Zone bowlers lacked consistency, gifting 22 extras, including 13 no-balls, which only made Jagadeesan’s task easier. By stumps, South Zone had lost only three wickets, leaving North with plenty of work ahead.
