Continuing his dream run in the longest format of the game, India opener Mayank Agarwal scored a sensational double century in the first innings of the series opener against Bangladesh at the Holkar Cricket S🥃tadium in Indore.
Agarwal, who is a natural stroke player and likes to feel the ball on the willow, looked in supreme touch against the Bangladesh Tigers on Friday. He slammed 25 boundaries and five sixes en route to the double t🍸on, his second in a span of just four Test matches.
The 28-year-old ha🌠d earlier slammed an unforgettable double hundred against South Africa in Vizag.
However, his innings in the Indore Test is somet🐽hing special as the pitch was aiding the bowlers but Agarwal kept his cool, picked the bad deliveries, and continued his cracking run of form with the bat.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to the Mayank Agarwal show:

When I set eyes on Mayank Agarwal the first time, it was during the under 19 WC in NZ, he looked a little replica of Virender Sehwag. Today he got🥂 to his 200 in true Sehwag style! 👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏
