After being admitted to the hospital, Mayank Agarwal was given initial treatment and later he was shifted to the ICU. According to several sources, Mayank ingested the acid after mistaking it for water when the flight worker left an acid bottle in the water storage section. As soon as he realized how everything tasted, he hastily spat everything out of his mouth. The physicians are treating him at the earliest and there is little probability that any amount of acid has entered his stomach. The flight crew seized the water bottle and opened an investigation in the interim.

On Tuesday, Karnataka State Cricket Association president while speaking to Cricbuzz had stated that Mayank Agarwal was out of danger and would be discharged from the hospital on Wednesday. Agarwal is expected to fly back to Bengaluru and will be consulting the local doctors.

Mayank Agarwal played for Karnataka in the Ranji Trophy Elite Group C match against Tripura. Karnataka is now set to play against Railways in Rajkot, and the team’s vice-captain Nikil Jose is expected to lead in the absence of Agarwal.

Mayank Agarwal has been in the best of his forms in the ongoing edition of the Ranji Trophy. Agarwal has scored 460 runs from four games at an average of more than 44, followed by two centuries. Agarwal also ended as the leading run-scorer of the Ranji Trophy 2022-23 wherein he slammed 990 runs from nine games, with a total of three tons at an average of 82.50.

Despite being in amazing form, Mayank Agarwal was not chosen as a replacement for the second IND vs ENG Test to be played in Vizag from February 2. BCCI opted for Sarfaraz Khan, Washington Sundar, and Saurabh Kumar to replace KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja.

Mayank Agarwal’s initial days for the Indian cricket team were like a fairytale as he was the hero of India’s win in the Melbourne Test match held in 2018. Agarwal also slammed a Test double hundred moving forward in his career but was soon excluded from the team due to his dip in form.
