Dhruv Jurel and Yashasvi Jaiswal shared a light moment ahead of the third India-England Test when Jaiswal teased Jurel for struggling to answer introductory questions in a BCCI video.
Ahead of the anticipated third Test between India and England, young wicketkeeper-batter Dhruv Jurel shared a lighthearted moment with opener Yashasvi Jaiswal in a BCCI video released on Wednesday, February 14. Jurel playfully struggled to answer introductory questions, prompting him to jest, “Isko hatao” (Take him out of here), when Jaiswal teased him.
The video also featured Jurel discussing his hobbies, including ‘being alone,’ and expressing his nervousness about finding a seat on the team bus.
Aged 23, Jurel, who has excelled in 15 first-class matches after emerging from India’s Under-19 system, is ready to potentially make his international debut in the upcoming Test, as India opted for KS Bharat as the specialist keeper in the first two Tests.

Since the Visakhapatnam game, media reports suggest that the team management intends to replace KS Bharat with Dhruv Jurel to strengthen the batting lineup.
Jurel expressed his desire to dedicate his potential debut cap in Rajkot to his father, Nem Singh Jurel, who initially opposed his involvement in sports but now serves as his strongest supporter.
“If I get the Indian cap, I’d like to dedicate that moment to my father because he’s my hero,” Jurel stated, highlighting his father’s guidance and unwavering support. Additionally, Sarfaraz Khan is poised to join Jurel in making his debut in Rajkot.
