Dhruv Jurel has strengthened his claim for a place in Team India by scoring half-centuries in both innings of the second Test match.
Notably, Lokesh Rahul and Dhruv Jurel were selected for the IND-A team for the second Test match against Australia.
Dhruv Jurel Poised for BGT Test Series Selection Amid Lokesh Rahul’s Struggles
Lokesh Rahul was a complete flop in this Test match, while Dhruv Jurel took full advantage of the opportunity and batted brilliantly in both innings rescuing the team from challenging situations
Dhruv scored 80 runs at a crucial time in the first innings and also scored a half-century for his team in the second innings and made a good partnership with Nitish Reddy.
Due to these two half-centuries against Australia, Dhruv has made a strong case for selection in the Indian team for the upcoming BGT Test series. Due to Lokesh Rahul’s poor form, Jurel can also be included in the Test team.
The first Test match of the BGT series is scheduled to be played on 22 November. The recent form of the Indian team in the Test format is very bad. After the shameful defeat against New Zealand, the team will aim to deliver a stronger performance in this series.
Dhruv Jurel is an excellent batsman as well as a skilled wicketkeeper, which allows the team to include Rishabh Pant as a batsman and Dhruv Jurel as a wicketkeeper. Lokesh Rahul once again flopped in this test match due to which he was again trolled on social media apps.
