He had a poor IPL 2022 season, scoring just 196 runs in 13 games, and also had to drop himself down the order to fit Jonny Bairstow at the top. The writing seemed to be on the wall when Punjab Kings announced Shikhar Dhawan as their new captain just a few days ago.
However, Dodda Ganesh cited the examples of five-time champions Mumbai Indians and four-time winners Chennai Super Kings regarding how they back their players and believe in continuity.
He took to Twitter and opined that Mayank Agarwal deserved more time at Punjab Kings for his brilliant performances in the past. Here’s what he tweeted:
There are teams like Sunrisers Hyderabad who might benefit from buying Agarwal at the IPL 2023 auction. As a quality Indian player, the Karnataka batter can definitely hope to be sold for a hefty price.
