Dhruv Jurel played an inning of 90 runs in the first innings of Ranchi Test.
On the third day of the Ranchi Test match, Team India’s wicketkeeper-batsman Dhruv Jurel took Team India out of a difficult situation by playing an inning of 90 runs. When Dhruv Jurel came to bat, Team India’s score was 177/7 and it seemed difficult for India to make a comeback from there. But he impressed everyone by playing brilliant innings in pressure situations.
Let us tell you that he had definitely come close to scoring a half-century in the Rajkot Test, but he had missed scoring a half-century there. As soon as he achieved this feat in Ranchi, he celebrated it in a completely different way. Jurel was seen saluting after scoring his first half-century. But no one knows why he celebrated it in this manner.
Dhruv Jurel dedicated his first half-century to his father.
Let us tell you why Jurel celebrated in this style after scoring his half-century. Actually the reason behind this celebration is his father. Jurel’s father Nem Singh was in the Indian Army. He retired from the post of Havildar. He has also been a part of Kargil War. Nem Singh wanted his son to also become an army man but Dhruv Jurel chose cricket as his career. In this way he dedicated his first half-century to his father.
Talking about the match, before Dhuva Jurel, Yashasvi Jaiswal had also played a brilliant inning of 73 runs scoring a half-century. Thanks to these two young players, India was able to come close to England’s score. However, Jurel could not complete his century and in the end Team India was all out after scoring 307 runs.
Earlier, batting first, England had put 353 runs on the board on the basis of Joe Root’s unbeaten century. There was a time when half the English team returned to the pavilion with a score of 112. Then Root made a century partnership with Ben Fox and Olly Robinson and took his team to a respectable score.
