India A Skipper Dhruv Jurel Leads from the Front Yet Again
Dhruv Jurel is just showing ways through which one will be able to lead his team from the front. When India is struggling in Tests, Jurel continues to do well for the A team. Recently against Sri Lanka A, he went on to bring up yet another century for the team.
The match between India A and Sri Lanka A is now truly about the dominance of the Indian batsmen. Yesterday, Sai Sudharsan was able to impress by scoring a century in this game. And the momentum which he had created was eventually carried on by Dhruv Jurel, who stayed not out.
But as the match continued on its second day, Jurel went on to smash a century for his team. And this has been the main reason why India A was able to post a strong total of 452 runs for the loss of 6 wickets before declaring. This knock by Jurel was not just a mere century, it was a knock at the selectors' doors too.
Over the last few months, Jurel has managed to prove himself to a great extent for the India A team. He had also scored centuries against South Africa A and Australia A, as he now grabbed his third ton while leading India A.
Our Take
Dhruv Jurel is shining pretty well for the India A team in the series against Sri Lanka A. And the selectors will be keeping a close eye on this series and at Jurel himself, noting that India will be going against Sri Lanka in the coming months in a two match Test series. With this century, Jurel has also increased his chance to make it to the playing XI of the Indian team in the upcoming series.
