Dhruv Jurel Dhruv Jurel (Pic Source-Twitter) Dhruv Jurel’s performance in domestic cricket has been quite good so far and he has scored important runs with the bat for his team. He can also do wicketkeeping, which is a plus point. He also has the ability to score the required runs by coming down the order. Since KS Bharat’s performance in Test cricket has been quite disappointing. In such a situation, he can be the perfect alternative to KL Rahul.
