On the other hand fans are not very happy when BCCI haven't picked Mayank Agarwal in 18 man-squad for the fourth and fifth Test match against England.
Both Prithvi Shaw and Mayank Agarwal build a hefty partnerhip of 277 runs against South Africa A. After this brilliant performance voic were raised to picked both the players in the national squad.
The 27-year-old Mayank Agarwal scored 4 and 151* runs in practice match while in the first class cricket Agarwal scored 69 runs in the four innings while Prithvi Shaw scored 250 runs. This is only the reason selectors haven't picked Mayank Agarwal for the remianing Test.
