1. Mayank Agarwal:
Out of all the names mentioned here, Mayank Agarwal is the one who holds the most chances to find his place back in the playing11. Agarwal opens for India and owns that slot for a lot of reasons.
In the last Australia test tour, Agarwal didn’t have a memorable series as he was dropped from the team after a couple of failed games.
His performance in the last New Zealand tour makes his stance even more strong for the opening role. Agarwal had a good series in New Zealand surfaces, which resembles a lot with the English ones.
Moreover, Mayank’s synergy with Rohit Sharma in test cricket is simply unbelievable. Both the cricketers began opening together in the South Africa test series and gave strong starts.
Both the openers scored double centuries in the matches and won games comfortably.
