Young Indian wicketkeeper-Baate Dhruv Jurlel is making a adventure statement with his performance as both batter and gloveman in the absence of Rishabh Pant in the two-match test series against the West Indies at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
Rishabh Pant NCA was selected as expert wicketkeeper for the ongoing two-match test series against the West Indies after failing to regain match fitness at NCA. And the young man grabbed the opportunity with both hands and represented the trust shown by the selectors in style.
Dhruv Jurlel’s heartbreaking celebrations impressed fans after leaving the Test ton.
After impressing with his job behind the wickets on day 1, Jurall broke a brilliant first-pre-test century in a thrilling style to stake his authority on 2 of the first Test against the West Indies in Ahmedabad. However, it was a celebration of Jurael that stole the show.

The 23-year-old wicketkeeper-Better Roston reached a landmark with a border away from Chess, making the ball a racing of the ball to the mid-on to bring his first Test century. As soon as the ball crossed the ropes, the detailed smile of Jurall showed how much the milestone matters to him.
Jurael first raised his bat high, then transferred it to his left hand in a bizarre gesture, which left a single one and everyone wondered what it means, but pride was clear in his eyes. His unique festival was a tribute to a heart to melt a heart for his Kargil war veteran father, and it has now gone viral on social media.
Celebration of Dhruv Jurall for his father.
