Former Australia captain backs Dhruv Jurel to make an impact in the upcoming 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy series.
Former Australia captain has expressed confidence in the potential of Indian cricketer Dhruv Jurel, backing him to shine in the upcoming 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) series. Jurel, who has been making waves with his performances in domestic cricket and limited-overs formats, is being touted as a key player for India in the much-anticipated Test series against Australia.
The Border-Gavaskar Trophy, a fiercely contested series between India and Australia, is known for its high intensity and competitive cricket. With both teams set to battle it out in the subcontinent, the pressure will be on emerging players like Jurel to perform in challenging conditions.
Jurel, primarily a middle-order batter with the ability to keep the scoreboard ticking, has shown promise in his recent appearances for Rajasthan Royals in the IPL, as well as in domestic cricket. His ability to adapt to various formats and his solid technique have caught the attention of selectors, and now, with the BGT looming, many are eager to see how he handles the pressure of Test cricket at the highest level.
The former Australian skipper, acknowledging Jurel’s talent, believes that the young cricketer’s temperament and skillset could be well-suited to the challenges of Test cricket. With India aiming to retain the trophy, Jurel’s contributions could be crucial in what is expected to be another exciting and tightly contested series.
Jurel’s inclusion in the squad would also add depth to India’s middle order, and given the demanding nature of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, his versatility could provide India with an edge in their pursuit of success against Australia.
