Both Mayank and Manish failed to leave a mark against Services
Leading the Karnataka side, Agarwal opened the innings for his team on a good-looking Chinnaswamy track. The right-handed batter played two elegant strokes as the ball reached the boundary on both occasions. However, a peach from pacer Gurdev Pathania meant that Agarwal knicks the ball which is safely pouched by the wicketkeeper Devender Lohchab.
To note, Mayank was stripped from the captaincy and was later released from the PBKS squad ahead of the IPL auction. Going to the auction, the Indian batter has set a base price of INR one crore.
Just like Mayank, Manish Pandey also failed to get going against the Services. The senior Karnataka batter looked pro-active in his ten-run innings but was cleaned up by Pathania with a venomous delivery. Pandey was a part of the Lucknow Super Giants in IPL. However, his poor show with the bat meant that LSG released him from their squad. He has also set a base price of INR one crore for himself in the upcoming auction.

Ajinkya Rahane and Ishant Sharma among other names who failed to impress in their recent outings
Mumbai skipper Ajinkya Rahane failed to make a big score in his team opening game against Andhra Pradesh. The veteran batter toiled hard for his 44 runs but got out after offering one of the simplest catches to the fielder. After being released from the KKR squad, Rahane has listed himself under the category of INR 50 lakhs for the auction. Meanwhile, Ishant Sharma has managed to take one wicket after bowling 20 overs in Delhi’s game against Maharashtra. The senior pacer has set a base price of INR 75 Lakh for the upcoming auction.
