India's Mayank Agarwal joins elite list after impressive Test Debut show at the MCG

Test Match Debutant Mayank Agarwal has put himself amongst an elite group of players after putting on good performances in the respective two innings of the third Test against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG)

Mayank Agarwal’s 42 helped India reach 106/8 in the second innings before India skipper Virat Kohli opted to declare, giving the hosts a target of 399 to chase in the final two days of the Test.

Mayank Agarwal scored a gritty half-century (76) in his first outing in international cricket and then backed it up with a fighting 42 in the second.

Mayank Agarwal’s show in the second essay was arguably more important than his first as he held the innings together when wickets were falling at regular intervals on the other.

In total, Agarwal scored 118 in this match is the second-highest score by an Indian opener who has made his debut away from home.

Mayank Agarwal stands only behind the legendary opener Sunil Gavaskar in this illustrious list.
