Visakhapatnam: India opener Mayank Agarwal, who converted his maiden Test century into a double ton on day two of the first Test against South Africa in Visakhapatnam, was extremely pleased with his individual effort and the game’s overall progress.
Agarwal had earned his maiden Test cap in the Boxing Day Test against Australia last December and scored a fifty in his first outing for a winning cause. A three-figure mark didn’t elude him for long, as he marched his way to 215 on Thursday, 3 October, hitting 23 fours and six sixes before being dismissed by Dean Elgar.
The right-hander, who has been a consistent performer in the Indian domestic circuit, and aggregated 2,141 runs in the 2017/18 season alone, couldn’t be more pleased with his maiden Test ton.
