IND vs ENG / Dhruv Jurel takes a 'hat-trick' in England, rocks before the Test series

IND vs ENG: India-A's emerging wicketkeeper batsman Dhruv Jurel is continuously performing brilliantly on England soil. After proving his excellent form in IPL 2025, he is now showing his talent on foreign pitches as well. In the ongoing unofficial Test series against England Lions, Jurel has once again attracted the selectors by scoring his third consecutive half-century.

Jurrel's bat overshadowed the English bowlers

In the first innings of the second unofficial Test match, Dhruv Jurel played an important innings of 52 runs with the help of 7 fours in 87 balls. He put the team in a strong position by sharing 121 runs for the third wicket with KL Rahul. Earlier, Jurel had also scored brilliant half-centuries in both innings of the first Test - 94 runs in the first innings and an unbeaten 53 in the second innings. The special thing is that he missed a century by just 6 runs in the first innings.

The way to enter the Test team is almost clear

Dhruv Jurel has been included in Team India as the second wicketkeeper for the upcoming India-England 5-Test series. But the consistency and confidence with which he is scoring runs has made him a strong contender for the playing XI. The special thing is that he has completely adapted himself to the swing and seamer-friendly conditions of England, which is considered a big achievement for any Indian batsman on overseas tours.

Showed strength in IPL 2025 as well

Playing for Rajasthan Royals, Dhruv Jurel also performed brilliantly in IPL 2025. Even though the team was out of the playoff race, Jurel scored 333 runs in 13 innings at an average of 37.00, including two half-centuries. He has continued this form well in England as well.
