Watch: Dhruv Jurel Hits Sachin Tendulkar-esque Upper Cut For Six, Stuns Everyone

Indian cricket team wicket-keeper Dhruv Jurel announced his arrival in Test cricket with a Sachin Tendulkar-esque upper cut to slam Mark Wood for a six. During Day 2 of the third Test match between India and England in Rajkot on Friday, Jurel looked confident in his first ever Test innings and his shot against Wood's 146kmph ripper was a highlight. Wood pitched the delivery short on off-stump but Jurel read it perfectly and played a upper-cut that reminded everyone of Tendulkar. The shot earned him a lot of praise from both experts and fans alike with the video going viral on social media.

Meanwhile, Ravichandran Ashwin claimed his 500th Test wicket on day two of the third match against England to become just the ninth bowler to make the feat.

Ashwin, an off-spinner who began the Test on 499 wickets, dismissed opener Zak Crawley for 15 in Rajkot. He is only the second Indian to reach the milestone after fellow spinner Anil Kumble (619).

Ashwin bowled a full-length delivery at leg-stump and Crawley top-edged to Rajat Patidar at fine leg.

His Indian teammates hugged the bowler, who raised his hand to the applauding crowd.

Ashwin joins fellow spinners Muttiah Muralitharan (Sri Lanka - 800), the late Shane Warne (Australia - 708), Kumble and Nathan Lyon (Australia - 517) in the exclusive club.

Ashwin, 37, has played 98 Tests since his debut in 2011.

The all-rounder has scored 3,308 runs including five Test centuries as a batsman.
