Dhruv Trevally
Team India, which swept home against New Zealand, now faces a big challenge in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The Indian team will soon leave for Australia. The 5-match Test series will begin in Perth from November 22, for which the Indian team squad has already been announced. It is believed that Rohit Sharma may be left out of the first Test of this series due to personal reasons, in such a situation the Indian team will have to look for his replacement.
KL Rahul is a contender to be included in the team as an opening batsman in the first Test, but he could only score 14 runs in both innings for India A. Rahul was left out after scoring 10 runs in the second innings. KL was eliminated in a very strange way in the second innings. The ball passed between his legs and hit the off-stump. In this way its failure continued in Australia as well.
Indian batsmen failed in Australia
Abhimanyu Easwaran, another contender for the opening batsman’s spot in the Indian team, was also seen struggling with the moving balls. Abhimanyu Easwaran was able to play innings of 7 and 12 runs in the first unofficial Test. His condition worsened in the second unofficial test. In the first innings he scored 17 runs while in the second innings he couldn’t even open his account. The condition of other batsmen in this match was also similar.
Dhruv Jurel was also sent to Australia along with KL Rahul for the second unofficial Test so that both the batsmen could gain some experience on the Australian pitches. Dhruv Jurel grabbed this opportunity with both hands and impressed everyone with his incredible batting in both the innings. Barring Dhruv Jurel, almost the entire India A team was seen struggling on the fast and bouncy Melbourne pitch.
Dhruv Jurel showed passion
Dhruv Jurel was the only batsman who bothered to stay in the crease. After the Indian A team’s top order faltered in the first innings, he took charge and spent a lot of time at the crease, playing 186 balls. During this, he had a great chance to score a century but could not get support from any batsman at the other end. The result was that he fell 20 runs short of his century. He showed the same game in the second innings as well and played an incredible innings of 68 runs. He faced 122 balls in which he hit 5 fours.
It is clear from these figures that Dhruv Jurel has largely succeeded in spotting Australia’s difficult and bouncy pitches. Now the question arises whether Dhruv Jurel will get a chance in game 11 in the Perth Test or will he have to wait. However, considering the performance of KL Rahul and Sarfaraz Khan in the last series, Dhruv Jurel deserves to play at number 6. His chances have increased further after proving his worth in Australia.
Aakash Chopra also approved
Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra also supports Dhruv Jurel. He said Dhruv Jurel was the only batsman who performed brilliantly in the first innings. He hit two sixes, played 186 balls and scored 80 runs. India A were in danger of being bowled out for 80-85 runs but they took the score to 161. Dhruv Jurel has a chance to become India’s number 6 batsman overtaking Sarfaraz and KL Rahul.
