IPL 2023: 5 franchises that might pick Mayank Agarwal at auction
Mayank Agarwal is one of the most elegant batters in the Indian cricketing circles and could attract huge bids at the upcoming auction (If Punjab release him).
3. Sunrisers Hyderabad
Sunrisers Hyderabad decided to open with Abhishek Sharma and skipper Kane Williamson in the 15th edition of the Indian Premier League. The former did a phenomenal job amassing 426 runs in 14 games at a strike rate of 133.13. However, the ace Kiwi batter had a horror show with the bat.
Williamson made 13 appearances for SRH in 2022 and could score just 216 at a poor strike rate of 93.51. His numbers quite clearly suggest that the SRH skipper was not able to adapt to the opener’s role. Therefore, Hyderabad could look to rope in a designated opener at the upcoming auction.
Mayank has been a proven performer in the T20 circuit and SRH could ponder over including him in the mix. If SRH decide to include the flamboyant Indian batter in the team, Williamson could go back to the number three position, where he has amassed heaps of runs, and help him play to his strength.
