While batting, Agarwal's 112 was complemented by Shubman Gill's 72 and Hanuma Vihari's 69. Gill in fact was promoted as an opener after young Prithvi Shaw didn't find the place in the playing XI. It couldn't be ascertained whether he was rested or forced to sit out due to injury.

Agarwal has now scored three hundreds at the Grace Road ground -- 151 retd out against Leicestershire, 112 against West Indies A and now 112 against the Lions. His 104 ball innings had 10 boundaries and four sixes while Gill's 80 ball knock had 10 fours and a six. Together they added 165 for the opening stand to set the foundation.
