HyderabadBatter
Tanmay Agarwal is a left-handed batsman from Hyderabad whose approach to batting changes noticeably with the format. In Twenty20 cricket he scores at a strike rate above 130, showing a capacity for aggressive hitting. In first-class matches his tempo drops sharply, with a strike rate sitting in the 40s, a sign that he is willing to build an innings patiently when the longer game requires it.
His route to wider attention ran through domestic inter-state T20 competition. In the 2016-17 season he made 250 runs while striking at 162.33. The following season, 2017-18, he scored 151 runs across 5 matches and again kept his strike rate above 145.
Those two campaigns were enough for Sunrisers to take a look at him ahead of IPL XI. He was later signed for 20 Lakhs INR.
Agarwal's development has followed the conventional path through the age-group structure of Hyderabad cricket, rising level by level rather than skipping any stage on his way to senior recognition.
