India and England are currently playing a five-match Test series. The fourth match of the series was played at the JSCA International Stadium in Ranchi, where Team India registered a thrilling victory. The player who played the most important role in Team India winning the Ranchi Test match was Dhruv Jurel. He scored 90 runs in the first innings and remained unbeaten on 39 runs in the second innings.

Jurel received the Player of the Match award for his excellent batting and wicketkeeping in both the innings. Former captain Sunil Gavaskar was also very happy to see this performance of Dhruv Jurel. He compared the young wicketkeeper to MS Dhoni. However, Sourav Ganguly is not happy with his statement and has now given a strong reply to Jurel’s comparison with Dhoni.

Sourav Ganguly’s opinion on comparison between MS Dhoni and Dhruv Jurel

While talking to RevSportz, Sourav Ganguly said, “MS Dhoni is a player in a different league. There is no doubt that Jurel has talent…but it took 15-20 years for MS Dhoni to become MS Dhoni. So let him (Jurel) play. His ability impressed me the most. His ability to play spinners, his ability to play against fast bowlers. His ability to play under pressure is what you want to see in a young player. He also has a good temperament.”

In fact, during the commentary in the fourth Test match, Sunil Gavaskar said, “Of course he has batted well, but his keeping and his work behind the stumps have been equally excellent. Looking at his sporting awareness, I want to say that he is the second emerging MS Dhoni.

I know there can never be another MSD, but you know he has the presence of mind, MSD was like that when he started and Jurel has the awareness of the game. He is a street-smart cricketer.” Let us tell you that the fifth and last match of the series will be played from March 7 at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) Stadium in Dharamshala.
