Do not play in place of Rishabh Pant, but play with him, what kind of strategy is being made regarding Dhruv Jurel?

News India Live, Digital Desk: Before the important Test series against South Africa, discussions have intensified regarding the combination of Team India. Meanwhile, a former Indian cricketer has given an interesting suggestion, which has caught everyone’s attention. He believes that young wicketkeeper-batsman Dhruv Jurel should be included in the playing eleven as a specialist batsman in the first test.

What is the whole matter?

Actually, this suggestion has come in view of Jurel’s excellent batting. He says that Dhruv Jurel can be a great option to further strengthen the Indian batting on the difficult pitches of South Africa. This suggestion does not mean that Rishabh Pant should be dropped, rather Pant should keep wickets and Jurel should be given a place in the team as an additional batsman.

Why Jurel?

Ever since Dhruv Jurel entered international cricket, he has impressed everyone with his batting and calm nature. Especially in the home series against England, the way he batted under pressure was highly praised. His technique is considered quite solid, which can be useful to the team on the fast and bouncy pitches of South Africa.

Experts believe that India will need a solid middle order against the strong pace attack of South Africa. In such a situation, if Jurel is included in the playing eleven, it will give depth to the Indian batting.

It will be interesting to see how much captain Rohit Sharma and coach Rahul Dravid pay attention to this suggestion. Rishabh Pant is the team’s first-choice wicketkeeper, but Jurel’s batting talent also cannot be ignored. If the team management decides to strengthen the batting, then we may see both Pant and Jurel playing together in the first Test against South Africa.
