West Indies National Cricket Team captain Roston Chase cleared India National Cricket Team’s star wicketkeeper-batsman Dhruv Jurel in the second and final Test match of the series on Saturday, October 11.
Roston Chase also cast a death glare on Dhruv Jurel after picking up his wicket in the first innings of the match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.
Dhruv Jurel won’t get under fifty if Roston Chase fires him
Jurel is playing as India’s first-choice wicketkeeper-batsman in the ongoing Test series against the West Indies due to the absence of the vice-captain, Rishabh Pant. Pant was unable to achieve match fitness for the Test series against the Roston Chase-led side after picking up an injury during the tour of England.
Your daily dose of cricket!
Dhruv Jurel made the most of the opportunity he got in place of Pant and put down a tremendous ton in the series opener at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. This led to calls for his retention in the India Test as an XI even after the return of Rishabh Pant.
Meanwhile, Dhruv Jurel continued his form in the second Test, displaying another impressive batting display. He played some great shots when he arrived in the middle and looked ready for another big score.
However, he fell six runs short of his fifty and got out after scoring 44 runs off 79 balls, with five boundaries. Jurel was cleaned up by the West Indies skipper while trying to hit a boundary in the 135th over.
On the second ball of the over, Roston Chase hit an 89.6 kmph delivery on the stumps, and Jurel freed his front leg and tried to hit the ball over the line. However, he missed it completely and saw his stumps rattling. With his dismissal, India decided to declare the innings at 518/5d.

He will certainly become India’s leading wicketkeeper-batsman in the near future – Dhruv Jurel’s coach
Dhuv Jurel’s youth coach Phoolchand Sharma has lavished praise on the young wicketkeeper-batsman and backed him to achieve massive success, while comparing him to the legendary MS Dhoni.
Phoolchand Sharma stated that Jurel is different from Rishabh Pant and backed him to become the main wicketkeeper-batsman for the Indian team in the future.
“Rishabh Pant is a different type 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 for goalkeeping. So going with that, I can say that Dhruv Jurel will be compared to MS Dhoni,” Phoolchand Sharma told Sports Tak.
“He is performing brilliantly; he scored good runs for India A against Australia A at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. Then he smashed a century in the first Test against the West Indies. He is putting in a great performance, he is a very big player and he will certainly become India’s leading wicketkeeper-batsman in the near future,” Phoolchand Sharma added.
