5 domestic players India should try before the 2016 World T20

#4 Mayank Agarwal

Mayank Agarwal can the blistering starts that India so desperately lack

Mayank Agarwal is a right handed opening batsman who plays his domestic cricket for Karnataka. Someone who likes to play his shots, Mayank can be an option for the opener’s slot in the team.

With Indian team having Rohit Sharma as an opener who likes to take his time at the start of the innings, there is the need of an opener who can play his shots right from the start. Neither of Shikhar Dhawan and Ajinkya Rahane look the part as far as that criteria is concerned, leaving the door open for Agarwal to be given a chance.

Agarwal could well be the player to solve this quandary. Playing for India A in the match against South Africa, where the latter had almost the same bowling attack as the one that played against India in the recently concluded T20 series, he scored a brilliant innings of 87 from 49 balls which helped his victory script a famous victyory.

India can try him in the matches before the World Cup to see whether he can make a successful transition to international cricket.
