Top 5 Indian Test batsmen in 2019

#1 Mayank Agarwal

Mayank Agarwal

In December 2018, Mayank Agarwal was trying to make his way into the Indian Test squad following years of tremendous performances in the domestic circuit. Fast forward to a year later, and the man is not only India's first-choice opener in Test Cricket, but also the highest run-scorer for the team in the longest format of the game this year.

From his sensible knock during the last Test match against Australia in January to his impeccable double hundred against Bangladesh in the first Test, the right-handed opener from Karnataka destroyed some of the best bowlers in the world. With one more double hundred and two other 50+ scores to his name, Agarwal's performance in his debut year was as good as any that the game of cricket has seen.

If he continues his outstanding form in the future, Agarwal would become a force to be reckoned with everywhere.
