BENGALURU: From a group perspective it made sense when Rohit Sharma emphasised the necessity for India to have a left-hander of their top-order, whereas welcoming Yashasvi Jaiswal to the opener’s slot for the Test sequence towards West Indies.
But the assertion would possibly simply have come as a jolt to some different aspiring openers. Mayank Agarwal is one among them.
Now, the Karnataka right-hander must play the ready sport to make his return. Mayank final performed for India towards Sri Lanka within the Day-Night Test in March 2022 at Bengaluru.
However, positivity has not ebbed out of the 32-year-old.
“See, I am somebody who does not think too much about it. I have been dealt a hand and I don’t have much control on what hand I have been dealt with. But I really want to put in everything from my side.
“On each given alternative, I wish to go on the market, rating runs and win video games. Whatever has to come back its approach, it’s going to come,” said Mayank.
When a player is aiming to make a comeback to the national side, he will have to amass a mountain of runs. Failure, even in one innings, is hardly an option.
Mayank was aware of the task ahead, but remained unfazed.
“I do not have a look at it as stress, as I have a look at it as alternative. Like I mentioned, wherever I play, whichever match I play I wish to go and get runs. I’m someone who I can ask myself some powerful questions through the years.
“I play with a lot of intensity. I am a very intense character. But off the field I am relaxed. I know how to switch off with the Vipasana (a breathing exercise) and as you said being a father also adds a bit to it,” he mentioned.
Runs have hardly ever dried up for Mayank in home circuit both.
The opener had scored 990 runs within the 2022-23 Ranji Trophy season, and he began the present time period with two fifties for South Zone towards North Zone within the Duleep Trophy semifinals.
Mayank was fairly happy about it too.
“I am very happy with the way I am batting through the last domestic season. I am glad that I am able to pile on runs on tough tracks.
“It is one thing that I’m happy with. Even within the semifinals (Duleep Trophy) we had been in a spot of hassle and getting these runs was good because the wicket was not the simplest. It positively feels superb to place in a match successful contribution,” he said.
Mayank could not start the Duleep Trophy final on a bright note, getting out for 28 off 47 balls.
But for him, winning the Duleep Trophy is as important as achieving his personal targets.
“It is of utmost significance. For me, as a participant I play to win and that’s the depth I play with and all of us are placing within the laborious yards.
“The semifinal game was very tight and you could see that winning that match meant a lot for everyone. We are going to go all out and try our best to win the final,” he signed off.
