MAYANK AGARWAL

Mayank Agarwal has already put one leg inside the Indian team after making an impressive Test debut against Australia. The Karnataka lad has been amazing in domestic cricket, with a record haul of runs in the past few seasons.

With 12 centuries in 75 List A matches and the highest score of 176, Agarwal has shown his streak of aggressive cricket in IPL as well. With KL Rahul’s performance in the World Cup not instilling any confidence; Mayank should be given a chance as the backup opener and probably be given opportunities in playing XI.
