PBKS vs GT: Punjab captain Mayank Agarwal trolled after another batting failure
India Today
IPL 2022, PBKS vs GT: Punjab Kings captain Mayank Agarwal’s horror run with the bat continued as the opener got out for 5 to Hardik Pandya on Friday. Mayank has managed just 42 runs in 4 matches since taking over as captain of the Punjab franchise.
Punjab Kings captain Mayank Agarwal’s ordinary run in the new Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season continued as the senior opener fell for 5 on a good batting pitch at the Brabourne Stadium in Match 16 against Gujarat Titans on Friday.
Mayank Agarwal struggled to get going after Gujarat captain Hardik Pandya won the toss and sent Punjab into bat. Eventually, it was Hardik, who looks fitter and stronger on his return to competitive cricket, who got the wicket of Mayank with a well-directed bouncer as early as his first over.
Mayank began with 3 dot balls and got off the mark with a scratchy chip over mid-off against Mohammed Shami. However, the bounce from Hardik surprised him in the 2nd over as he tried to pull it into the stands, only managing to get caught inside the 30-yard circle.
Mayank looked dejected as the pressure is mounting on the Punjab Kings captain, who took over KL Rahul after being retained by the former finalists.
A section of cricket fans aced the meme game as they highlighted the dip in Mayank’s form in the IPL since taking over the captain’s armband.
