MAYANK AGARWAL

Mayank Agarwal had a stupendous domestic season last year as he scored 1160 runs in 8 matches with an average of 105.45 and a best of 304* and five centuries at a strike rate of 68.80 for Karnataka.

Agarwal also had a very good run for the India A team on the tour to England where he scored 151*, 112, 112 in the triangular One-Day series. In the four First-Class matches, Agarwal has already scored a double hundred and a fifty. He is currently in the form of his life and that is when a young batsman should be given a chance at the international level.

He has scored 3245 runs in 42 FC matches with a best of 304* and an average of 49.92 and 8 centuries to his name. 

Another aggressive opener, Agarwal likes to dictate terms and has a good judgment of his off stump. He seems to take on bowlers who are at the top of their game and take them apart. If Agarwal gets his eyes in, one can expect nothing less than a big score from him; something the Indian team is in desperate need of.
