Mayank was among the only two retentions for PBKS, as he bagged a three-year contract for ₹12 crore. 590 cricketers will go under the hammer this year and the right-hander’s among the few who won’t have to feel the anxiety of the bidding process. He, however, will closely watch how his team’s planning unfolds on the auction table.
Speaking to Boria Majumdar on his show “Auction Reels”, he said:
The 30-year-old added:
One of the few silver linings for the struggling team, the right-hander was among the top run-scorers last season, amassing 441 runs from 12 innings at an average of 40. Following the departures of KL Rahul and Ravi Bishnoi, Mayank is a key player for the franchise and might even be promoted to captaincy this year.
Mayank Agarwal added to India’s ODI squad
Meanwhile, in light of the COVID-19 outbreak in India’s camp for the upcoming white-ball series against West Indies, Mayank was added to the team as an emergency cover.
In the absence of Shikhar Dhawan and Ruturaj Gaikwad, the PBKS star might open alongside Rohit Sharma in the first ODI on February 6.
