Former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar believes that Mayank Agarwal’s comeback into Test cricket is a big achievement for the right-handed opener. He added Agarwal did well to counter the turn and bounce of the pitch in the second Test at the Wankhede Stadium, especially when Tim Southee and Ajaz Patel were operating.

“Mayank Agarwal’s batting style was commendable. He very efficiently countered Wankhede’s pitch which had a lot of turn and bounce. The way he approached and encountered Tim Southee was the highlight of the match, because Southee was someone who troubled us a lot in the first Test. Mayank showed a lot of discipline against pacers and scored a lot of runs against spinners, especially against Ajaz Patel,” said Bangar.
