Dhruv Jurail took everyone's heart with his batting in Ranchi. In a difficult situation, Dhruv proved to be a trouble-shooter for Team India in the first innings. Dhruv played an important partnership with Kuldeep Yadav, based on which the Indian team could make a comeback in the match.

 

In the first inning, the wicketkeeper-batsman played a strong inning of 90 runs, while in the second inning also Dhruv remained unbeaten after scoring 39 runs. Dhruv has achieved that feat in the Ranchi Test, which no wicket-keeper batsman has been able to do in the last 22 years.

 

 

Dhruv did amazing
