It was Dhruv Jurel, who not only pulled the Indian team out of a stuck match, but also remained at the crease till the victory. Even though he did not score a century with his bat, he still managed to win the Player of the Match award. Let us know what Dhruv did when he received this award for the first time in international cricket.
Dhruv came into the team after the first two tests
When the Indian team was announced for the first two matches of the 5-match series between India and England, Dhruv Jurel was nowhere in it. BCCI’s selection committee had selected KS Bharat. But KS Bharat missed the chance. After Hyderabad, when they came to play at their home in Visakhapatnam, they could not do so in that also. After this it was understood that after KS Bharat, another option could be considered. The same thing happened. When the team landed in Rajkot for the third Test, captain Rohit Sharma made it clear that Dhruv Jurail was playing in place of KL Bharat. After this, the statistics of Dhruv’s first-class matches started being scrutinized, which are quite impressive.
Played a good inning of 46 runs in the debut test.
Dhruv Jurel played an excellent inning of 46 runs during his debut innings in Rajkot. He may not have been able to complete his half-century, but he still impressed. He also did excellent work behind the wicket. After this, when he came to play in Ranchi in his second and fourth match of the series, he played a brilliant inning of 90 runs in the very first innings. This time his half-century was completed, but he missed the century. His accolades increased further when he led India to victory in a tied match in the Ranchi Test. The Indian team got the target of 192 runs in the fourth innings of this test. Apart from Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rajat Patidar was also out. After this, the crisis came to light when after Ravindra Jadeja, Sarfaraz Khan was also out on the score of 120. At that time the target was far away and India had lost 5 wickets. But Dhruv Jurel took the lead along with Shubman Gill. First, he took the team out of trouble by taking one run each and after that, when it seemed that they had reached the threshold of victory, runs came out rapidly from his bat.
What did Dhruv say after winning the Player of the Match award?
He has won the Player of the Match award in the very second match of his short Test career of two Test matches. Whereas in this innings he has scored only one half-century. This first shows how special his innings were. After being named the best player of the match, Dhruv Jurel said that he plays as per the demand of the situation. Even in the first innings, the team needed to score runs, we knew that we had to bat last and hence every run would be important. He was involved in a few partnerships, so credit to everyone who stuck around and added runs. Dhruv said he just saw the ball and then reacted to it, not thinking too far ahead. Regarding the conversation with Shubman Gill between the innings, he said that it was good.
Dhruv’s figures in the first two tests
Talking about both the innings of Dhruv’s Ranchi Test, in the first inning he played a valuable inning of 90 runs on 149 balls, which included 6 fours as well as 4 sky-high sixes.
