Ex-India Star Picks "Most Impressive Aspect" Of Dhruv Jurel's Maiden Test Knock

Star batter Dhruv Jurel started his Test cricket career on a promising note. The right-handed batter is among the two debutants for India in the third Test against England in Rajkot. Jurel scored 46 runs off 104 balls in his maiden Test innings before losing his wicket to England leg-spinner Rehan Ahmed. While Jurel missed his half-century by a small margin, former India opener Parthiv Patel was left impressed with the way he played. The ex-India southpaw even picked the "most interesting aspect" of the debutant's performance on Day 2 of the Rajkot Test.

"There Is Instability": Ex-India Star On Wicket-Keeping Conundrum In Tests

Parthiv Patel understands the need for KS Bharat to make a statement with the willow but the former India wicketkeeper wouldn't mind giving the Andhra glovesman one more match taking his impeccable glovework into account during the first two Tests against England. Bharat, who has played seven Tests so far, is yet to score a half-century and there is a possibility that Dhruv Jurel might get a look in for his superior batting abilities. Parthiv, who played 25 Tests for India, acknowledged that there is a bit of instability in the Indian Test set-up as far as wicket-keeping is concerned.

India defeated Afghanistan by six wickets in the first T20I encounter in Mohali on Thursday but it was not without controversies as skipper Rohit Sharma was left frustrated after he was dismissed for a duck following a mix-up with opening partner Shubman Gill. Rohit played a delivery from Fazalhaq Farooqi to mid-off and called for a single. However, Gill was watching the ball and did not move resulting in Rohit getting run-out without scoring a single run.

Former India wicket-keeper batter Parthiv Patel supported Rohit and said that Gill should have trusted his skipper's call and gone for the single.

India head coach Rahul Dravid confirmed that KL Rahul, who has not kept wickets in red-ball cricket much, will take up the role behind the stumps for the first red-ball contest against South Africa, starting December 26. Rahul wasn't India's designated wicket-keeper in any of the three formats during his early days in the team but made the transition quite well in white-ball cricket. He is now India's No. 1 choice behind the stumps in both T20Is and ODIs. Now, the team management wants to see how he does behind the stumps in Tests. But, former India wicket-keeper Parthiv Patel isn't in agreement.
