Everyone loves Dhruv Jurel: Ben Stokes names an England player who has a ‘man crush’ on Indian wicketkeeper | Cricket News
In just his second Test match, Dhruv Jurel took home the player of the match award after dragging India home to a series victory with a 72-run stand with Shubman Gill in the second innings of the Ranchi Test. Dhruv Jurel added his second innings knock of 39* to his first innings total of 90. It came at an invaluable time: India were reduced to 120-5 while chasing a target of 192. His batting earned him praise from India skipper Rohit Sharma. “It has been a very hard-fought series. To come on the right side after four Tests feels really good,” said Rohit. “Jurel showed solid composure, calmness and has the shots as well. In the second innings he showed a lot of composure and maturity.” Jurel is the son of a Kargil War veteran.
