Mayank Agarwal is an experienced Indian opener known for his aggressive batting style and ability to anchor innings. Currently playing for Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2025, he has been a consistent performer in the middle order and opening slots across various franchises. His domestic experience with Karnataka and international exposure adds significant value to any squad looking for stability at the top.
In IPL 2025, Agarwal contributed steadily for Sunrisers Hyderabad with several crucial knocks, including a match-winning fifty against a strong bowling attack. While his overall run tally remained moderate, his strike rate and ability to handle both pace and spin proved useful in the middle overs. He did not take any wickets, focusing entirely on his batting contributions.
For the IPL 2026 auction, several teams including Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders are reportedly interested in acquiring his services due to his experience and leadership qualities. His base price of 0.75 crore makes him an attractive option for franchises seeking a reliable Indian batter without stretching their purse excessively.
In IPL 2026, Agarwal is expected to provide consistency at the top or middle order while mentoring younger players. Given his track record and current form, he is likely to attract bids between 1.5 to 2.5 crore, depending on the auction dynamics and team requirements.
