During the downtime post the domestic season, Jagadeesan captained the TN Colts team on their UK tour in May for three weeks under coach L Balaji. That aside, he also dabbled in TV commentary during IPL 2024 and the men's T20 World Cup, which he says was an "eye-opening" experience.
"When you're at the comm box, you have to pay a lot of attention," he says. "You have to focus on the game and predict…only then you will be able to speak well. I realised even when I'm not playing the game, I knew what the bowlers were going to do by just watching. It was very insightful.
"For example, when you're in the comm box you actually predict what a fast bowler is going to do looking at the field set. You get deeper connections with the bowlers. That helps you while you bat against them as well, because you've actually seen what the bowler is going to do. If the thing I predict happens then I can say I've learned something out of it. There's a lot you can learn when you commentate."
Jagadeesan is hoping to harness all of these experiences, and has also set clear goals - which he usually doesn't do - heading into this domestic season.
"The ultimate aim for me is to be part of the Indian cricket team," he says. "I don't usually set goals coming into a domestic season, but I think it's high time I start doing that. In Ranji Trophy where I did not even think I could face 400 balls, I did that. These were the things which I did not even think was possible. Just like how my long-term goal is to play for India, there's always been a goal for me in my head since childhood which is to cross the 1000-run mark in Ranji Trophy. That's always been on my checklist."
