Team India's wicketkeeper-batsman Dhruv Jurel has put KL Rahul and Sarfaraz Khan in tension by performing brilliantly before the Border Gavaskar Trophy. Dhruv Jurel was sent to Melbourne to play against Australia A ahead of the 5-match Test series starting on 22 November. Taking advantage of the opportunity, he staked his claim by scoring half-centuries in both the innings of this unofficial test. Jurel also made both these fifties while batting at number 6. Rahul and Sarfaraz also bat at this number.

Played a fighting innings in difficult circumstances

In the second match against Australia A in Melbourne, India A had to face defeat by 6 wickets. But in this match, Dhruv Jurel's innings was the most positive aspect for the Indian team. Seeing his innings, the tension of head coach Gautam Gambhir and Rohit Sharma will reduce a bit. Because Jurel kept fighting alone against Australia A in both the innings. It was because of him that the team's honor was saved.

In the first innings, India A had lost 4 wickets at the score of just 11 runs. After this, he took the Indian team beyond 150 with a fighting inning of 80 runs in 186 balls. In the second innings, the Indian team lost 4 wickets at the score of 44 runs. After this he faced 122 balls and scored 68 runs. On the basis of his innings, the team was able to reach 150 again and in the end the bowlers reached a respectable score of 229. Even before this, he had won the match under pressure in the Test series against England.

Faced 308 balls alone

The biggest feature of both the innings of Dhruv Jurel was that he withstood the pressure and got the team out of trouble. Wickets kept falling from one end but they remained strong at the other end. After the main batsmen of the team were out, he along with the bowlers took the innings forward. In the entire match, India A faced a total of 810 balls, out of which Jurel alone played 308 balls.

Seeing Jurel fighting alone like this, even the commentators could not stop themselves from praising him and compared him with Virat Kohli. In Australia, there is often a fear of the innings faltering by losing wickets continuously. In such a situation, at number 6, the Indian team needs a batsman who can withstand pressure and is adept at batting with the lower order.
