Mayanka Agarwal has been in the terrific touch in the ongoing Ranji Trophy. The batter has slammed two centuries and one half-century so far in the season. Him missing the next game against Railways will be a huge blow for the Karnataka team. They are currently placed second in Group C, with two wins, a loss, and a draw in four matches.

It remains to be seen how Karnataka will go about business for the next match without star batter Mayank Agarwal. The batter would be eager for a comeback and would be hoping to continue his good form in the tournament.
