For the second Test against New Zealand, Aakash Chopra believes Team India should omit Mayank Agarwal and stick with Ajinkya Rahane.
Virat Kohli, Team India’s regular captain, will return for the final Test of the series. Which begins on Friday at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. If the hosts adhere to their five-bowler hypothesis, one of the hitters will have to make way for him.
“What can the Indian team do, what will they be thinking at the moment? Mayank Agarwal and Shubman Gill, Mayank Agarwal. As they say is the weakest link, you can drop him easily and no one will talk about it. That’s a likelihood, it can happen.” He said
“It can happen because when you look towards South Africa, you say who you might require the most, who can be utilized more. You will say Shubman Gill will surely be your third opener. Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul makes it your three openers. Mayank Agarwal might not be in my team at all, even if he is there, no chance in the XI.” Chopra explained
Mayank Agarwal, the cricketer-turned-commentator. It may have to pay the price because he may not be included. In the Indian team’s plans for the South Africa tour. According to the cricketer-turned-commentator.
Mayank Agarwal
In Indian circumstances, Mayank Agarwal has an amazing overall record as an opener. However, he has recently been plagued by technological difficulties and appears to be out of sorts in the middle.
Mayank Agarwal’s spot becomes susceptible, according to Aakash Chopra, because dropping Ajinkya Rahane, who was the skipper in the last match, is difficult.
“So, Mayank Agarwal becomes the weakest link there. Ajinkya Rahane is not the weak link there because you are thinking that Cheteshwar Pujara is also not in great form. Ajinkya Rahane is also there with you. He was the captain in the last match and is he not even worthy of being in the team now.” He elaborated
Team India may also believe that Rahane will be more effective in South African conditions than Mayank Agarwal. According to the former India opener.
