It was that kind of a day for Mayank Agarwal as whatever he wanted to do was coming to fruition - every shot found the gaps, the flicks were a sight to sore eyes, and the one six he hit today was a batsman’s delight. It was only natural that nothing - even if Marais Erasmus’ OUT signal could bring an end to what has been a flawless innings so far.On the fourth ball of the 47th over, Mehidy Hasan bowled a quicker off-break to Agarwal and the latter was quick to attempt a sweep. However, he was done by the pace of the delivery and the ball went on to hit his pads when he was on a squatting position. Bangladesh players were quick to appeal and the impact was so deceptive that the umpire raised his finger to signal him OUT. It came as a huge surprise for the Bangalore boy as the frustration written all over the face. Even before the DRS clock was set in motion, an angry Agarwal instantly signalled for a review which cleared everything. As third umpire Nitin Menon found out, there was nothing on the UltraEdge but it was missing the leg stump by a fair margin. It would have been bouncing over the stumps as well - even if it wasn't going down.
Mass review by Agarwal!

That powerful look from Mayank Agarwal was lit af!
You cannot hate Mayank Agarwal. That reaction he gave Erasmus lifted his finger was priceless. Mayank still waited to talk to Rahane before taking the review.

Turned out to be!
Is Mayank Agarwal the best Indian opener in the last 20 years?

Powerful people come from powerful places!
Still remember 30's and 40's of Mayank Agarwal for RCB.The way he transformed himself from there is commandable. Showing more grit than the conventional openers

No one is gonna stop Agarwal.
Mayank Agarwal is having good luck , dropped yesterday and today DRS goes in his favour . Pujara was playing well than Mayank but BD caught a tough chance .

He is been brilliant from ball one!
Another fine innings from Mayank Agarwal. Got to love his hunger. Bangladesh were impressive but India have still taken the game further away.
