Former India player Sunil Gavaskar showed a heap of praise for India opener Mayank Agarwal but also added that he wants to see Mayank scoring big in the second year as well. Agarwal scored his second double ton in the first test against Bangladesh in Indore, his career-best 243.

“He is enjoying Test cricket, this is his first year and hopefully he keeps scoring on the second year also because in the second season there is a lot more data available of you to the opposition but he has been batting beautifully,” Sunil Gavaskar said on Nerolac Cricket Live exclusively on Star Sports.

“The way he balances himself without falling on the offside as he plays so straight and his movement of the front and back foot has been fantastic making him the man in form who is full of confidence,” he added.

Mohammed Shami has also been in a formidable form and returned with bowling figures of three for 27 and four for 21 in the first test in Indore.

“One thing bowlers should do is keep an eye on the wicket and how is it behaving, so what I do is as the pitch gets slower I keep pushing myself and when I notice that the batsman is uncomfortable I go over the top,” he said.

Former India opener Gautam Gambhir also praised India’s pace attack.

“If you see other oppositions, some teams have got quality fast bowling attacks, some have quality spinners but if you look at this Indian side, they’ve got two quality spinners, three quality seamers plus Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar who are not in the playing 11,” he added.
