Dhruva Jurel: In the unofficial test match being played between India A and Sri Lanka A, Indian captain Dhruv Jurel batted brilliantly and scored a brilliant century. Due to continuous rain on the second day, play had to be stopped several times, but despite this, Jurel continued batting with patience and wisdom. He strengthened the team’s innings in difficult conditions and played an important role in taking India A’s score beyond 400 runs.
On the second day, when Dhruv Jurel was batting on 97 runs, it started raining and the match had to be stopped for some time. After the game resumed, he quickly completed his century. By the time play was stopped again due to rain, Jurel had scored 119 not out from 192 balls. His innings included 10 fours and a brilliant six.
Share important things with Sheikh RashidDari
Dhruv Jurel also got good support from Sheikh Rashid during this period. Rashid batted with restraint and scored 63 runs in 113 balls. Thanks to the partnership of both the batsmen, India A significantly strengthened its position in the match. Only five wickets of the team had fallen and the score had crossed 400 runs.
Sai Sudarshan had set his sights on the first day
On the first day of this match, India A opener Sai Sudarshan batted brilliantly. He scored 132 runs facing 175 balls. His innings included 19 fours. Sudarshan gave a strong start to the team, which later benefited Dhruv Jurel and other batsmen. However, apart from Sudarshan, Jurel and Sheikh Rashid, no other batsman could succeed in playing big innings. Despite this, India A made a strong score.
Century against third consecutive foreign A team
This performance of Dhruv Jurel is also considered special because even before this he has scored centuries against Australia A and South Africa A. Now he has shown his excellent form by crossing the three-figure mark against Sri Lanka A also. Jurel’s performance is continuously improving and he is showing the ability to take responsibility in big matches. This is the reason why he has also been given the captaincy of India A on this tour.
Has shown talent for India also
Dhruv Jurel has played 10 matches for the Indian senior test team so far. In these matches, he has scored 478 runs, which includes one century and one half-century. Apart from this, he has also played four T20 international matches. However, he has not yet got a chance to make his debut in ODI cricket. Now everyone’s eyes will be on when the India A team declares its first innings and how the bowlers perform in front of the Sri Lanka A batsmen.
