It is less than a year since Mayank Agarwal made his Test debut in Sydney, and he has already cemented his spot at the top of the order with some big knocks. Be it his two half-centuries against Australia or his maiden double century which came against South Africa at Visakhapatnam last month, Agarwal has certainly grabbed his chances with both hands.
Yet, Agarwal perfectly fits the phrase 'to swim with the sharks', as his performances have surprisingly and yet easily fallen under the shadows of knocks from Virat Kohli, Cheteshwar Pujara and most recently, Rohit Sharma.
With Rohit in the form of his life and the duo of Kohi and Pujara must-haves in any Dream11 side, Agarwal might not be picked by too many, and for those who opt to pick him in their side, he could prove to be a vital pick.
Given his ability to turn the screws right from the beginning and pile the pressure on the opposition bowlers, Agarwal will be keen to make yet another good impression. And with Bangladesh slightly lacking experience in the bowling unit, expect Agarwal to come good in this game.
