West Indies national cricket team captain Roston Chase clean bowled India national cricket team’s star wicketkeeper-batsman Dhruv Jurel in the second and last Test match of the series on Saturday, 11 October.
Roston Chase also gave him a death stare after taking the wicket of Dhruv Jurel in the first innings of the match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.
Dhruv Jurel misses out on a half-century as Roston Chase dismisses him
Jurel has been playing as India’s first-choice wicketkeeper-batsman in the ongoing Test series against the West Indies due to the absence of vice-captain Rishabh Pant. Pant was unable to regain match fitness for the Test series against the Roston Chase-led side after suffering an injury on the England tour.
Dhruv Jurel took full advantage of the opportunity he got in place of Pant and scored a brilliant century in the first match of the series at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Due to this, even after the return of Rishabh Pant, the demand to keep him in the India Test playing eleven started rising.
Meanwhile, Dhruv Jurel continued his form in the second Test and produced another impressive batting display. He played some brilliant shots as soon as he came in the middle and looked ready for another big score.
However, he fell six runs short of his half-century and was out after scoring 44 runs off 79 balls with the help of five fours. While attempting to hit a four in the 135th over, Jurel was clean bowled by the West Indies captain.
On the second ball of the over, Roston Chase bowled the ball at 89.6 kmph onto the stumps and Jurel cleared his front foot and tried to hit the ball across the line. However, he missed it completely and saw his stumps move. With his dismissal, India decided to declare the innings at 518/5.

He will definitely become India’s leading wicketkeeper batsman in the times to come – Dhruv Jurel’s coach
Dhuv Jurel’s childhood coach, Phoolchand Sharma has praised the young wicketkeeper-batsman and backed him to achieve tremendous success while comparing him to the great MS Dhoni.
Phoolchand Sharma said that Jurel is different from Rishabh Pant and backed him to become the main wicketkeeper-batsman for the Indian team in the future.
Phoolchand Sharma told Sports Tak, “Rishabh Pant is a different kind of player. He is a batsman-keeper. But Dhruv Jurel is a keeper-batsman. So if we are a Test team, we want a professional keeper to keep. So I can say that Dhruv Jurel will be compared with MS Dhoni.”
Phoolchand Sharma said, “He is performing brilliantly; he scored good runs for India A against Australia A at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. After this, he scored a century in the first Test against West Indies. He is performing brilliantly, he is a very big player and he will definitely be India’s main wicket-keeper batsman in the times to come.”
