Irrespective of wher he is playing Test or limited-overs cricket, Agarwal is always focussed on task. "Regardless of wherever I play, I always think about how I can become an asset to my team and how I can contribute to team. Even if I don't score runs with bat, I think about contributing on field, bringing in more energy on field," he said.
