Dhruv Jurel Says Overseas Success Is Always Special
India’s wicketkeeper-batter Dhruv Jurel has called overseas performance a “special thing,” ahead of the final and series-deciding Test against England at The Oval. With Rishabh Pant ruled out, Jurel is expected to play a crucial role both behind the stumps and with the bat.
Ready to Step Up Under Pressure
Speaking to the media, Jurel emphasized that adapting to foreign conditions brings added value to a cricketer’s career. “Overcoming overseas challenges is always a special thing. If you perform abroad, it carries more weight,” he said. He added that representing India on English soil is both a responsibility and an opportunity.
Learning from Seniors
Jurel credited his development to the mentorship of senior players, including tips from Pant and support from the coaching staff. He said that whether he is in the playing XI or not, his mindset remains focused on contributing to the team’s success.
Promising Early Test Career
In the limited number of Tests he has played so far, Jurel has already made an impression with both bat and gloves. His average of over 40 and solid temperament have earned praise from former cricketers and selectors alike. With the series level at 2-2, all eyes will be on him in the final Test.
Focused on Team Goals
Jurel said he wants to express himself freely and help the team finish the tour on a high. He believes this match could be a turning point in his early career and is determined to rise to the occasion.
