The stylish Indian spinner Mayank Dagar is yet to make his debut in international cricket but the photogenic spinner from Himachal Pradesh never misses a chance to hog the limelight. Last year, the 21-year-old cricketer grabbed a lot of eyeballs after sharing space with India juniors’ coach Rahul Dravid in a TV commercial for an IT firm. Recently, Dagar made a revelation.
Nephew of former Indian opener Virender Sehwag, Dagar became a known face following his exploits in the Under-19 World Cup, 2016, in which India reached the final but couldn’t manage to lift the trophy. Dagar, who gave India some hope in the final against the West Indies by taking three quick wickets, picked 11 scalps in four matches that he played in the tournament at an average of below 10, a strike rate of less than 20 and an economy of 2.88.
Dagar, who made his debut for Himachal Pradesh in Vijay Trophy in 2015 has quite a fan following. He has often been compared to the Indian skipper Virat Kohli for his style statement and more than 100,000 followers on Instagram. Dagar has recently revealed the name of his crush.
