“In the last four months, I’ve really worked hard on my batting. As you can see, I’ve started sweeping and reverse-sweeping the ball, that too against the fast bowlers,” Agarwal told ESPNcricinfo. “I’ve opened up four-five areas in my game which are paying rich dividends. I am very happy that the hard work I put in is paying off now.
“Getting two hundreds in a T20 tournament like the Maharaja Trophy feels amazing. It feels really nice when the players respond to you the way you want. Obviously runs behind my back really makes me feel good and then I can lead from the front.”
“I am somebody who isn’t going to give up,” Agarwal said about his international future. “I am going to keep chasing it and improve my game with each passing day. I will be very happy with whatever comes my way, but the aspirations and dreams never die.
“It’s about going out there, improving and ticking all those boxes.”
