SRH star cleared to return after recovering from scary health emergency
After surviving a tragic health scare, a Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) star has now been cleared to take the pitch once again. He has now been named in the squad of his state team for their next match in the ongoing Ranji Trophy 2024.
Mayank Agarwal, who had to deplane after mistakenly drinking acid is now fit to feature in Karnataka's next game against Tamil Nadu, starting from February 9. The incident happened while travelling from Tripura after a Ranji Trophy match when he induced a bout of vomiting.
Agarwal was rushed to a hospital in Agartala, where he was monitored by the medical team. The right-handed batter underwent another check-up upon reaching Bengaluru and was advised a few days' rest, following which he officially received the fitness clearance to return to action.
"I am fit and fine and there were no major issues," the opening batter told ESPNcricinfo
Mayank Agarwal has been in good form in this domestic season
The health emergency forced Agarwal to miss Karnataka's Ranji Trophy encounter against Railways in Surat, where Karnataka managed to secure a nervy one-wicket win to hold the second position in the group.
Mayank Agarwal has been among the runs, making a strong case for a potential comeback into the Indian Test side. While he began the Ranji Trophy season with a set of ducks against Punjab, he roared back into form with successive hundreds against Gujarat and Goa. The batter had scored 51 and 17 in the clash against Tripura, before his fateful hospital stint.
Karnataka have also been bolstered by the return of the in-form Devdutt Padikkal, who was part of the India A squad that recently faced England lions.
