Dhruv Jurel
Dhruv Jurel has already proved in his short career that India’s wicketkeeping duties remain in safe hands whenever Rishabh Pant is unavailable.
But with his maiden Test century here on Friday, the youngster underlined the importance of being “one hundred per cent ready” to seize those rare opportunities.
Jurel produced a 125-run knock against West Indies while putting on 206 runs with Ravindra Jadeja as India’s lead swelled to 286 runs.
Jurel, who has remained the second-choice after the mercurial Pant in Test cricket, once again came good on all counts after a brilliant opening day.
“It’s about the huge privilege even if you are not getting the chance [to play], you are [still getting to be] with the squad. How many get to be with the squad and how many [get to] play Test cricket?,” Jurel said.
“I am very glad that I am with the squad and if I am not playing the match, I keep working hard. I know one day I will get an opportunity and I have to be 100 per cent ready to be able to deliver,” he replied when asked about getting a Test ton despite limited opportunities.
