5 reasons why Mayank Agarwal should have replaced Virat Kohli in the 2nd Test

#5 The time is now for Mayank

He has been a hit in the domestic circuit, and has shown his promise even in the IPL. He was playing with confidence against a strong bowling line-up in the A series versus Australia and South Africa A, and is in the form of his life.

At 27, he knows that he is hitting peak form and needs to be incorporated into the team. A debut against West Indies would have been an ideal cushion for him to progress, given their lackluster performances.

The faith shown in Prithvi Shaw should also have been shown in Mayank, who is a confidence player and would have risen to the occasion.
