Mayank Agarwal

An explosive right handed batsman from Bangalore, Mayank Agarwal likes to go after bowlers right from the start; on his IPL debut in 2012, Muttiah Muralitharan was greeted with a first ball six. He top scored for India in the 2010 Under-19 World Cup and has been a consistent performer for Karnataka in List A tournaments.
He was the lead scorer in the 2012 Karnataka Premier League, scoring the only ton of the tournament.
Agarwal has shown a penchant for big scores in limited overs games, scoring a double century while playing for the Jawans Cricket Club and a massive 223 runs in the Sir Mirza Ismail Shield tournament in 2012. An impressive run in domestic cricket in the last year, he has led his team to victory with the bat on many occasions, scoring two fifties in the match against Punjab in the Col C.K. Nayudu U-25 Trophy in November 2012.
An attacking batsman by nature, with the habit of posting huge scores with flamboyant shots, Mayank has often been compared with Virender Sehwag. He also showed his ability to bat in the middle order with an audacious counter attack against Mumbai in 2012.
