On 30th January, Mayank Agarwal was hospitalized in Agartala after drinking a mysterious liquid on his Indigo flight. He had stomach pain and a burning sensation in his throat, and was forced to be admitted in the ICU. Later it was revealed that he drank acid and it caused ulcers in his stomach and throat. 

Now he’s out of the ICU and has played two first class matches after the incident. As he prepares to lead Karnataka in the Ranji Trophy semi-finals, he has decided to joke around regarding him drinking the poisonous pouch, quoting an iconic line from a Hindi film.
