Bengaluru: Indian opener Mayank Agarwal has become the fourth Indian batsman to convert a maiden Test century into a double ton, scoring a fantastic 215 in the ongoing Test against South Africa.
He has now become a star overnight. The 28-year-old was rock solid throughout his innings and with opening partner Rohit Sharma put on a massive 317 run partnership. The right-handed batsman got himself noticed after scoring over 2000 runs in domestic circuit across formats.
He has tied the knot with long-time girlfriend Aashita Sood on Monday. Mayank’s Karnataka teammate and India batsman KL Rahul posted photos on his official Instagram account that said, “Celebrating @mayankagarawal’s and @aashitasood09 ’s big day!Friends like family, blessed with the best! #AshKaroMayank”
Mayank proposed Aashita earlier this year. The couple had posted photos on the social media every now and then from the preparations for the big occasions. In one of the posts, Mayank wrote, “Looking forward to a lifetime of this. Let’s get this party started!”
