Agarwal’s season as the captain of the Punjab Kings and a batter wasn’t particularly successful in 2022. Agarwal had a 16.33 average, and his performance matched the success of his team.
This season with no more pressure of captaincy on his shoulders, one can expect runs again from the bat of Mayank.
