Let us tell you that Jurel’s inning of 90 runs in the ongoing fourth Test match in Ranchi has saved India from lagging behind in the match. So today in this article we are going to talk about three such big reasons, which are enough to prove that Jurel has emerged as India’s biggest discovery in the Test series against England. So let us know these three big reasons- 3. Skill of wicketkeeping KL Rahul was seen in the role of wicketkeeper during the South Africa tour, but India was looking for a specialist wicketkeeper in India. A quick set of hands was needed behind the wicket to catch the spinning balls of Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav. Which we can say after seeing the performance of Dhruv Jurel in the Test series against England that it has been fulfilled. Although the Indian management had given a chance to KS Bharat in the first two Test matches, but after an average performance in batting, Dhruv got a chance in the third Test match, which he grabbed with both hands. He is doing a great job behind the wicket. 2. Great performance with the bat Dhruv Jurel has batted twice in the Test series so far and has impressed everyone with his systematic batting skills and good technique. Although, he could not play a big inning in his debut match, but still he played an inning of 46 runs in 104 balls, which was very good for a debutant player in front of the best bowling attack. Jurel who is known for his aggressive performance in IPL. The inning of 90 runs played by him in the Ranchi Test match shows that he can bat as per the situation. Jurel has been seen easily adapting himself to the situation. He partnered in partnership situations, and did not shy away from scoring runs when wickets were falling rapidly. 1. Ability to perform under pressure After watching his batting in the two matches of the ongoing Test series against England, everyone can recognize that this player has the ability to perform under pressure. Making your debut against a world class team like England is always a stressful moment for a debutant, but Jurel has absorbed this pressure brilliantly. Jurrell’s ability to remain calm in pressure situations reflects his mental state and maturity. If one sees these abilities in a player’s early career, then he can definitely say that Jurel is going to be a long haul horse.
