BGT 2024-25: It’s Really About Getting Into A Fight And Embracing Those Moments, Says Mayank Agarawal
Melbourne Cricket Ground: The experience of being a debutant Test batter in Australia, where bowlers test you with pace and bounce, is a familiar feeling for Mayank Agarawal. In 2018, with the series tied 1-1, Agarawal made his Test debut at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) in front of 80,000 fans. He impressed with scores of 76 and 42 as India went on to win the Test and eventually sealed the series 2-1.
With the upcoming five-Test Border-Gavaskar Trophy series against Australia kicking off in Perth on Friday, Agarawal offered words of wisdom to young Indian batters like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Dhruv Jurel, Sarfaraz Khan, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Devdutt Padikkal, who will be playing on Australian pitches for the first time during the tour.
“Very honestly, it’s about really getting into the fight and really embracing those moments, challenging yourself and saying that, ‘I want to get into the fight, want to be in those tough situations’. You would want to put yourself there and say, ‘I can be the man that wins these moments and wins the game for the country’.
