Twitter reacts to Mayank Agarwal's positive response to Virat Kohli's double century instruction
BCCI
Mayank Agarwal’s hunger for runs reaches new heights with every match and he put up an exhibition of storied batsmanship in Indore as well. When he reached 150 in a completely chanceless manner, Virat Kohli instructed him to play patiently for 200 and Agarwal responded with a thumbs up.
The third delivery of the 77th over in India’s innings, bowled by Taijul Islam, was a short one for Agarwal to make him uncomfortable but the Indian opener pulled it for a four to bring up his 150 in style. Having scored a double hundred against South Africa last month, it was for the second time in as many months that Agarwal crossed the 150-run mark, making himself settled for the second double ton of his career.Once he started celebrating, the camera panned towards the dressing room where everyone had a jubilant smile on their face. Most ecstatic was Virat Kohli, who after celebrating the century, instructed Agarwal to go for a double and should keep his patience. That had a positive ripple effect on the Karnataka opener as he instantly responded with a thumbs up - in a real confident manner.
