I practise six-hitting in domestic matches: Agarwal

Indore, November 16

Man of the Match Mayank Agarwal was delighted with his contribution in the win. “It’s dream come true to play for India, grateful for the start I’ve got,” he said. “Hope I can continue. I do practise my six-hitting but not during the Tests... But I do try and hit a few in domestic cricket. It’s great to have somebody who motivates you. When I got my first 150, Kohli was at the non-striker’s end and he said ‘nothing short of 200 for you next’.”

About the Day/Night Test in Kolkata, he said, “We’ve had three pink-ball sessions under lights. Rahul Dravid arranged those in Bangalore. Looking forward to the game now. It’s going to be a landmark game for us.”

Bangladesh captain Mominul Haque said: “It has been difficult. We won (the toss) and decided to bat, it was a difficult decision. But I have a lot of positives, especially Abu Jayed who picked four wickets. Mushfiqur was superb with the bat in both innings, Liton did well too.”

“The top order batsmen had a challenge against a very good bowling line-up, so we need to try and play out 15-20 overs. We have no experience of Day/Night Test cricket, we’ll just try and enjoy that game,” he added. — PTI
