Mayank Agarwal's declining IPL career

Mayank Agarwal played for the SunRisers Hyderabad in the IPL 2024 season. While Hyderabad made it to the final, Mayank played just four matches, managing 64 runs at an average of 16.00.

Since the 2022 season, his IPL form has seen a decline. Mayank scored just 270 runs from 10 games in the 2023 edition with just one half-century. The 2022 season was worse, as he managed only 196 runs from 13 matches at an average of 16.33.

His poor form in the IPL over the past three seasons could be why he failed to bag a contract this time. His last best season came in 2021 when he scored 441 runs from 12 games playing for the Punjab Kings at a strike rate of over 140.

Overall, Mayank Agarwal has played 127 IPL matches and has amassed 2661 runs at an average of 22.74 and a strike rate of 133.05 with just a solitary hundred and 13 half-centuries.

It remains to be seen whether Mayank, nearly 34, will be able to make a comeback and play in the upcoming IPL editions.
