Agarwal gets his maiden IPL ton
Punjab opener Mayank Agarwal notched up his maiden IPL century during their Dream11 IPL 2020 league match against Rajasthan at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah on Sunday. He punished the bowlers for erring in line & length as he scored a quickfire century while his skipper KL Rahul played a great supporting role. The 2014 runners-up were put in to bat by Steve Smith after he had won the toss.
Agarwal brought up his fifty off just 26 deliveries and at the same time, it was also the opening batsman's second half-century in this tournament. However, all it took him was 19 deliveries to score the next 50 runs as he reached the three-figure mark in just 45 balls.
The Indian Test specialist added 183 runs for the opening wicket with captain KL Rahul who played a great second fiddle on this occasion. Unfortunately, Mayank could not be out in the middle till the end as he was caught by Sanju Samson at deep mid-wicket off Tom Banton in the 17th over. He walked back for an outstanding 50-ball 106 that included 10 boundaries and seven maximums at a strike rate of 212.
