In the Test series played against England this year, young player Dhruv Jurel won the hearts of all the fans by performing brilliantly. He not only performed brilliantly in batting but also in wicketkeeping. Recently, former player Deep Dasgupta has said that Dhruv Jurel can also prove to be effective for the Indian team in the five-match Test series against Australia.

Let us tell you, Jurel has been included in the Indian team for the first Test of the two-match Test series against Bangladesh. This Test series is starting from 19 September. The young wicketkeeper batsman would like to perform well against Bangladesh as well. Let us tell you, in the absence of Rishabh Pant, Dhruv Jurel has batted brilliantly for the Indian team and has scored 190 runs in three Tests at an average of above 60.

Talking to India Today, Deep Dasgupta said, ‘Dhruv Jurel can play only as a batsman and he has the ability to perform significantly for India. The team management will decide on the combination but Dhruv Jurel can prove to be very effective in the conditions of Australia.

Rohit and Yashasvi will open in your playing XI. Shubman Gill can be seen batting at number 3 and Virat Kohli at number four. After this, KL Rahul will be seen batting at number five and Rishabh Pant at number 6. After this you can include one more batsman in the playing XI. You have Jadeja and Ashwin at number 8 and 9. After this, you can play two fast bowlers at number 10 and number 11. I have seen that batsmen can also be seen practicing bowling in the nets. If you can go with 4 fast bowlers, then you can also bowl some overs part time.

I will not be surprised at all to see that Rishabh, Rahul and Dhruv are all included in the playing 11: Deep Dasgupta

The former player further said, ‘You would definitely want to see Sarfaraz in the middle order. If we talk about it, Jurel has also batted brilliantly. I would not be surprised at all to see that Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul and Dhruv Jurel all three remain in the playing XI. This is a series against Australia and the way the young player has batted so far, he can prove to be a match winner for the Indian team. However, now the team management has to decide whether they play with seven batsmen or six batsmen.’
