Hyderabad: A week after Mayank Agarwal was hospitalised due to drinking an acidic liquid, he has cracked a punt at himself taking to his social media account, adding fodder to the meme factories.

Karnataka skipper Mayank Agarwal faced, both an embarrassing moment and an unfortunate incident, last month when he drank some transparent liquid assuming it to be drinking water. He felt acidic soon after ingesting it and reported the burning sensation he felt in his mouth. The episode caused him mouth ulcers and he was admitted to the hospital in Agartala.

A month after the incident, the Karnataka batter has taken a funny dig at himself by posting a picture captioned “Bilkul bhi risk nahi lene ka re babaaaaa (Can’t take any risk).” The image uploaded by the right-handed batter showed him posing along with a water bottle.

Agarwal missed the fixture against Railways after the incident but he returned to lead the team against Tamil Nadu last month. Mayank has amassed 398 runs from six appearances so far in the ongoing Ranji season.

After seven games in Elite Group C, Karnataka has bagged 27 points in the competition and is placed second in the group. They will be facing Vidarbha in the quarter-final which is to be played on February 23 in Nagpur.

At the international stage, Mayank has featured in 21 Test matches scoring 1,488 runs from them with an average of 41.33. He has also been a part of the Indian side for five ODIs so far and has managed to accumulate 86 runs.
