Mayank Agarwal was appointed as the captain of Punjab Kings in IPL 2022. However, he could not come out with a good show with the bat in the tournament. In 12 innings, the right-handed batsman scored just 196 runs at an average of 16.33 with just 1 fifty in one game. In contrast to Agarwal, Shikhar Dhawan came out with a much more powerful performance.

Dhawan, who was picked by Punjab Kings for Rs. 8.25 crores in the auction, slammed 460 runs in 14 games in IPL 2022 at an average of 38.33 and 3 fifties, the top of which was an unbeaten 88-run knock. Dhawan might be named the skipper in the next season and Mayank Agarwal might join other teams. Here we talk about 3 teams that can target Mayank Agarwal in IPL 2023.

Chennai Super Kings is the first team that can target Mayank Agarwal in IPL 2022. The team lost Faf du Plessis in the last auction, who was a top opener for the team. While Rututaj Gaikwad was a good performer for the team in IPL 2022, the team could not find a consistent opener in the season.

Devon Conway and Robin Uthappa got chances to open the innings for the team, but could not deliver the desired results. Mayank Agarwal can solve CSK’s opening woes in IPL 2023.

Kolkata Knight Riders is another team that can target Mayank Agarwal in IPL 2022. In the last season, the team could not find a good pair of openers throughout the tournament. Ajinkya Rahane and Aaron Finch opened the innings in some games, but they were shifted soon with their poor show. Hence, if Mayank Agarwal comes to Kolkata Knight Riders, he can strengthen KKR’s opening slot.

Rajasthan Royals is the third team that can target Mayank Agarwal in IPL 2022. Rajasthan Royals has a top opener in the form of Jos Buttler, who shattered records with 863 runs in 17 games in IPL 2022. He slammed 4 centuries and 4 fifties in the tournament.

However, the next best performer in the team was skipper Sanju Samson, who hit 458 runs in 17 games. Buttler’s opening partner was a big issue for RR in the tournament. Yashasvi Jaiswal showed good performance in a couple of games. Hence, the team can target Mayank Agarwal in the next season who can emerge as a good opening pair to Buttler.
