The former Indian Test opener flew back home to Bengaluru to seek medical treatment for the burns in his throat and mouth that he suffered after consuming a liquid from a bottle that was kept in the seat pocket in front of him when he was on a flight to the Karnataka team's Ranji Trophy match in Surat.

Agarwal had been deplaned and hospitalised in Agartala itself, while his team progressed onto Surat.

K Kiran Kumar (SP, Tripura West) had then told PTI, "While sitting on a flight, he saw a pouch in front of him, and thinking of it as water, drank it. He had swelling and ulcers in his mouth. His condition is normal, and his vitals are stable. His manager has made a complaint. We are registering the complaint, and will investigate the matter."

After missing out the subsequent match against Railways, Agarwal made a comeback to captain the team in the game against Tamil Nadu earlier this month.
