Rohit Sharma animatedly urges Mayank Agarwal to smash sixes after scoring double ton

The India vs Bangladesh Test match at Indore so far has been all about Mayank Agarwal. The Karnataka batsman smashed his way to a mammoth 243 against a hapless Bangladesh bowling attack, who had no answers for Mayank’s stroke play. Mayank, who was retained by the Kings XI Punjab, ahead of the IPL Auction 2020, broke many records in the process, before holding out in the deep in an attempt to hit a record 9th six.

Mayank eventually fell, trying to hit his 9th six of the innings, caught by Abu Jayed who was stationed in the deep, off Mehidy Hasan.
