Former RCB player equals Devdutt Padikkal’s elite century record in Vijay Hazare Trophy

Former Royal Challengers Bangalore opener Mayank Agarwal demonstrated once again why he has been one of the highest-rated Indian batsmen since 2011. With an impressive innings that included a milestone century for Karnataka in the 2013 Vijay Hazare Trophy, Agarwal has cemented himself among the elite group of batters that have scored more than 100 runs in the tournament's history. Not only does Agarwal continue to be one of the most reliable higher-order batsmen in Indian domestic cricket, but he also continues to shine under pressure as evidenced by his innings.

When Agarwal scored his hundred, he was instrumental in leading Karnataka to a strong run total, providing them with early impetus at the top of the batting order and providing Karnataka with a solid foundation upon which other batters could play freely, allowing them to set a daunting total for the opposition. Agarwal has been consistent throughout his career in the Vijay Hazare Trophy and continues to provide strong support for Karnataka’s one-day team.

Devdutt has played aggressively and shown tremendous talent over the past few seasons, whereas Agarwal's numerous hundreds reflect his long-term success, patience, and continual high-level performance in every Vijay Hazare Trophy season.

Mayank Agarwal’s Growing Legacy in Vijay Hazare Trophy

Agarwal's success on the century charts is proof of his consistent run production as well as his desire to score runs. He scores heavily against diverse bowling attacks and plays well under various weather conditions. This makes him a valuable player in all formats of the game; however, Agarwal's ability to turn his early innings into dozens of runs is what distinguishes him from many others. Agarwal's most recent achievement further strengthens his case as one of the best performers in Vijay Hazare Trophy history.

Agarwal's achievements have placed him in a great position to continue climbing the all-time list of players with the most centuries. As the tournament has many more matches remaining and he has hit a high point in his career, Agarwal will be looking to increase his total and close the gap on the top players. For fans and followers of Indian domestic cricket, Agarwal's career illustrates the incredible depth of talent and competitiveness that characterizes the best one-day tournament in India today.
