MAYANK AGARWAL HINTS AT NEW OPENING PAIR AHEAD OF TEST SERIES AGAINST NEW ZEALAND!

After being dismissed for 1 run in the first innings, Mayank Agarwal finally found form and looked flawless when he smashed 81 in the second dig.

“It was a good match, it was nice that we got a practice three-day game ahead of the Test series. Scoring runs is important, in the first innings, the wicket was tough and I got out early. But it was good that I got another opportunity in the second innings,” Mayank said after the match.

“It has been a little different, I scored 81 in the second innings and I want to take that confidence into the Test series. Batting coach Vikram Rathour and I have talked about the areas that I need to get better in. I am happy that whatever I have worked on, is coming good now,” he further added.

Mayank feels that despite not registering a big score Prithvi Shaw looks promising and he will get the nod ahead of Shubman Gill for the first Test at Wellington, commencing February 21.
