India wicketkeeper-batter Dhruv Jurel's Army upbringing gives him the "fearless attitude" on the field, felt former cricketer Suresh Raina, adding that the young player had put in a lot of hard work to reach this level. Jurel scored a peerless 90 in the first innings of the ongoing fourth Test against England and then played with determination on difficult day-four pitch in Ranchi, scoring an unbeaten 39, to give India a five-wicket win and an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match series.

Chasing 192 to win, India were moving strongly at 84/0 before the England spinners troubled them on the either side on Lunch on Day 2.

Indian cricket team wicket-keeper batter Dhruv Jurel played a gritty knock on Day 3 of the fourth Test match against England in Ranchi that impressed both fans and experts alike. With India struggling in their first innings, Jurel stitched together valuable partnerships and was able to take his side to a respectable total. His 90-run innings earned him a comparison with former skipper MS Dhoni as legendary cricketer Sunil Gavaskar could not stop praising his effort. Jurel responded to the praise by saying that it is a good feeling to have a legend of the game like Gavaskar talk about him and his game.
Indian cricket team batter Rinku Singh took to social media to share an emotional message for Dhruv Jurel after the youngster slammed a brilliant half-century on Day 3 of the fourth Test match against England in Ranchi on Sunday. Rinku shared an old picture with Jurel along with the caption - "Mere bhai, sapne saakaar karane ka samay aa gaya hai (My brother, it's time to make dreams come true)". Both cricketers play for Uttar Pradesh in domestic cricket and earlier, Jurel had revealed that Rinku is his teammate and over the years, they have developed a camaraderie between them.
Dhruv Jurel was the top performer for India with the bat on Day 3 of the fourth Test match against England in Ranchi on Sunday but the youngster was left devastated when he missed out on a maiden century. The wicket-keeper batter looked in fine touch as he played a determined knock against the English bowlers but he was dismissed on 90 by Tom Hartley. He was visibly upset at missing out on the major milestone and Mohammed Siraj was quick to console him. However, the crowd erupted in cheers to acknowledge his gritty knock and he even received a standing ovation from his teammates.
Former India batter Virender Sehwag hailed wicketkeeper-batter Dhruv Jurel for his "outstanding batting skills and temperament" after the youngster scored a gritty on Day 3 of the 4th Test against England in Ranchi.
