Mayank Agarwal's knock was also crucial for India, who were struggling against the left-arm spin of Ajaz Patel.India won the toss and opted to bat after a delayed start in Mumbai. There was swing on offer, but Agarwal and Gill got the team off to a good start.The two put on 80 runs together, before Ajaz finally removed Gill for 44. However, in his next over, the Kiwi spinner got Cheteshwar Pujara and Virat Kohli for ducks, leaving India reeling.But the Indian batsman then began his counter-attack, and dominated the 80-run stand with Shreyas Iyer, who also fell to Ajaz Patel for 18.India vs New Zealand: Twitter full of praise for Mayank AgarwalMayank Agarwal recently lost his opening spot in the Indian Test team to Karnataka teammate KL Rahul, who put in a brilliant display during the tour of England and only missed out on the New Zealand series with injury.With the other opening spot made his own by Rohit Sharma, the opener may find it difficult to get into the team once they are both available.However, with yet another brilliant performance, he has made a strong case for himself and given the selectors another headache.Of course, the team's management won't mind the problem of plenty, but social media was quick to point out how Agarwal was playing for his place and has delivered.Here are some of the best reactions on social media:VVS Laxman@VVSLaxman281Sublime knock from Mayank. Needed the runs for himself and the team, and responded in style! Terrific composure and sparkling strokeplay. Am sure this hundred will do wonders for his confidence. #INDvNZ5:11 AM · Dec 3, 202144013Sublime knock from Mayank. Needed the runs for himself and the team, and responded in style!
