Dhruv Jurail also did a big feat in his debut test, became a star by making this record
Dhruv Jurel Record in Debut Test: The Indian team that has entered the field in Rajkot Test is considered to be the least experienced team in the last ten years. Talking about batsmen, apart from Rohit Sharma no other batsman has much experience. The special thing is that due to injuries to the players, two debuts were made simultaneously. Sarfaraz Khan and Dhruv Jurail played their first Test. But the way these two players batted on their debut, captain Rohit Sharma and coach Rahul Dravid must have heaved a sigh of relief. You must have read and heard a lot about Sarfaraz’s records, but now know what Dhruv Jurail did.
Dhruv Jurail hit 3 sixes in his debut test.
Dhruv Jurail must have hoped that his batting would come on the very first day. When Sarfaraz Khan was out before the end of the game on the first day in the evening, it seemed that Jurail would come, but the coach and captain fielded Kuldeep Yadav as the nightwatch man. Kuldeep was out the next morning. After this Dhruv Jurail came to bat. Initially, it seemed as if his enthusiasm had increased in his debut. But as runs started coming from his bat, his confidence also increased. After this he also played some aggressive strokes. He hit 3 sixes during his short impactful innings. He also hit two fours. Dhruv Jurail has now become the second batsman after Hardik Pandya to hit 3 sixes in his debut test. Earlier, Hardik Pandya had hit 3 sixes against Sri Lanka in Galle in 2017. However, he was out after scoring 46 runs and missed completing his first half-century.
This record is also in the name of Jurail
If we talk about his other records, Dhruv Jurail managed to play the third highest innings in his debut innings as a wicket-keeper batsman for India. In this matter KL Rahul is at number one. KL Rahul had made his Test debut in the year 2014 itself, but he was playing as a specialist batsman only. But when he played his first test as a wicketkeeper, he was successful in scoring a century. In the year 2023, he played an innings of 101 runs against South Africa in Centurion. If we talk about the number two batsman, it was Dilawar Hussain. Who played an innings of 59 runs against England in Kolkata in the year 1934. However, Dilawar Hussain could not play cricket for long and his career ended after just three Tests. That’s why most of you may not have even heard his name.
In this matter also Dhruv came ahead of Nayan Mongia
After this, Dhruv Jurail has now come at number three. He played a strong inning of 46 runs in his very first test in Rajkot today. He deserved a half-century, but before that he had to return to the pavilion, but in his short innings he impressed everyone. If we talk about who is next, Nayan Mongia’s name comes up. He scored 44 runs while making his debut against Sri Lanka in the year 1994. That is, if seen in this way, Dhruv Jurail is behind KL Rahul and Dilawar Hussain, but he has left Nayan Mongia behind. Now it will be interesting to see what kind of batting Dhruv Jurail and Sarfaraz Khan do in the coming times.
