New Delhi : The Man of the Series performance in his maiden India A appearance has been a “turnaround” of sorts for Mayank Agarwal, who feels that tips from the likes of Sunil Gavaskar and Rahul Dravid during the tri-series will go a long way in shaping up his fledgling career.
India A coach Dravid thought the Ranji snub was a “big wake-up call” for the dashing opener. “Yes you can say it is a bit of a turnaround. I have got to understand my game a lot better in the last six to eight months. I think the transition started in September last year and slowly I got to understand my game better and work on my gameplan.
“I was lucky enough to spend sometime with Gavaskar sir. It was after our first league game against South Africa. He told me he always looked to bat out a session. There were a lot of questions asked. Things like how to face the fast bowlers across formats. It meant a great deal as he is one of the best we have had,” said Agarwal.
