What’s Next for Mayank Agarwal?

Agarwal celebrated his birthday in style by announcing his return to the form by scoring 82 runs in the 2nd innings of the 3-day practice game against New Zealand XI. Since his arrival in New Zealand, Mayank has struggled to score runs. First for India A and then for Team India in ODI series, Agarwal failed to make a significant contribution with his bat.

With the Test Series set to begin, it was important for Agarwal to get some runs under his belt to boost his self-confidence. With in-form players like KL Rahul and Shubman Gill lurking for a spot in the test side, this tour is going to be critical for Mayank to cement his spot in the playing 11.
