Whatever Has To Come Its Way, It Will Come – Mayank Agarwal

In a recent PTI interview, Mayank Agarwal expressed his desire to make a comeback for the Indian team. He emphasized his focus on giving his best at every opportunity, considering it an opportunity rather than pressure.

“See, I am somebody who does not think too much about it. I have been dealt a hand and I don’t have much control on what hand I have been dealt with. But I really want to put in everything from my side. On every given opportunity, I want to go out there, score runs and win games. Whatever has to come its way, it will come.”

“I don’t look at it as pressure, as I look at it as opportunity. Like I said, wherever I play, whichever tournament I play I want to go and get runs. I am somebody who I can ask myself some tough questions over the years.

Mayanka made his international debut in a boxing day Test match against Australia during the Border Gavaskar (BGT) 2018-19. He last played for India in a Test match against Sri Lanka in Bengaluru in 2022.
