Out-of-favour India opener and current Karnataka skipper Mayank Agarwal was rushed to a local hospital after falling ill on a New Delhi bound flight which was about to take off, state cricket association sources confirmed on Tuesday.

Mayank, who has played 21 Tests for India, led Karnataka to a 29-run win over Tripura on Monday. “Mayank Agarwal was rushed to a local hospital in Agartala. The reason for the sudden illness is yet to be confirmed,” a Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) official told PTI without elaborating further.
