After seven games in Elite Group C, the Agarwal-led Karnataka have 27 points and sit second in the group, and will be facing Vidarbha in the quarter-final scheduled for February 23 in Nagpur.
Having been rushed to a hospital in Agartala after falling sick as a result drinking from ‘a pouch in front of him, mistaking it as water’, Mayank Agarwal took a high-spirited crack at himself in his recent post on Twitter.
On board another flight, Agarwal posted a pic alongside a water bottle captioned, “Bilkul bhi risk nahi lene ka re babaaaaa (Can’t take any risk).”
Returning from Agartala following a Ranji Trophy match, Agarwal had fallen sick on board a New Delhi-bound flight last month.
Expanding on the incident, Kiran Kumar K, Superintendent of Police of West Tripura – who was reached out by the player’s manager to register a complaint – had told the PTI, “(Mayank) while sitting on a flight saw a pouch in front of him and thinking of it as water, drank it. He had swelling and ulcers in his mouth. His condition is normal, and his vitals are stable. His manager has made a complaint. We are registering the complaint and will investigate the matter.
Having missed out the following game against Railways, Agarwal returned to lead the side in the game against Tamil Nadu earlier this month.
From six appearances so far, Agarwal has 398 runs that includes two hundreds and as many fifties.
