Indian youngsters Yashasvi Jaiswal and Dhruv Jurel are not just national teammates as they share the dressing room as well as the team hotel for long periods in the IPL as they play for Rajasthan Royals.
As they reach Indore for the third ODI of the series, both are breaking the internet with their funny jokes. The incident was caught on camera as the Indian team left after its final training session before the series decider.
India started the series with a win in Vadodara but later failed to defend a comparatively low score in Rajkot. Coming off a 1-1 draw in Indore, India, they will look to continue their unbeaten run at the same venue at the Holkar Stadium.
Yashasvi Jaiswal almost slaps Dhruv Jurel as wicketkeeper teases Mumbai boy
Indian youngsters Yashasvi Jaiswal and Dhruv Jurel have set the internet abuzz as the duo were seen joking around while leaving the Indore facility after their final practice session before the series decider.
Left-handed batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal is believed to have been teased by his India and Rajasthan Royals teammate Dhruv Jurel over some issue, which has angered the Mumbai cricketer. He looked upset as he almost slapped his partner.
However, Jurel’s reactions were enough to prove that the matter was clearly a funny joke between the two teammates, as Jurel ignored Jaiswal’s slap and had a wide smile on his face as he boarded the team bus with his angry friend.

Both Yashasvi Jaiswal and Dhruv Jurel are waiting for their chance in the series.
However, both of these extremely talented youngsters, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Dhruv Jurel, are waiting for their first opportunity in the series with just one game remaining. None of these players are part of India’s T20 squad or the ICC T20 World Cup squad against New Zealand.
While Yashasvi played the last ODI series against South Africa and also scored his first ODI century, Dhruv Jurel is yet to make his debut in this format. However, Jurel was selected as a replacement for Rishabh Pant after he was injured before the first match against New Zealand.
Jurel scored big in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, which was his best season for the Uttar Pradesh team. With two hundreds and four half-centuries in 7 matches, he became a must-have option and earned his place ahead of Ishan Kishan and Sanju Samson.
Yashasvi Jaiswal will not return for Mumbai in Ranji Trophy
India’s left-handed batsman Jaiswal will reportedly not be a part of the second round of Ranji Trophy matches for Mumbai. This has been confirmed by Mumbai Cricket Association.
The 24-year-old will not be available for Mumbai for the remaining two matches of the second round of Ranji Trophy. He last played a Ranji match for the Mumbai team against Rajasthan before the start of the ODI series against South Africa.
Then he scored 67 and 156 runs in two innings of the match against Rajasthan. After the New Zealand series, he will be seen playing for Rajasthan Royals in the IPL.
