India opener Mayank Agarwal has included the sweep and reverse sweep shots in his game, which he uses even against the pacers, to get his white-ball career back on track. Agarwal, who started his international career with Test cricket, was originally not included in the Indian team for the fifth rescheduled game in England in July. He later flew to Birmingham as cover for injured K L Rahul.

On the white ball front too, he has had endured a tough run. Leading Punjab Kings in the IPL, he could only score 196 runs in 12 innings at a strike rate of 122.50.
While Punjab have parted ways with head coach Anil Kumble after three seasons, Agarwal might get to keep his job for the 2023 season. "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. 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," Agarwal told ESPNcricinfo.
