Dhruv Jurel saved Team India's honor in Australia, fought alone like a 'soldier', and was compared to Virat Kohli

Dhruv Jurel played a brilliant innings of 80 runs in 186 balls in the second unofficial Test match between India A and Australia A. In this match being played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, he saved Team India's honor with his innings. The Indian team had lost 5 wickets at a score of 64 runs. After this, Jurel kept fighting alone like a soldier against the experienced bowlers of Australia A. He first partnered with Devdutt Padikkal, then Nitish Reddy, and later with the bowlers and took the score beyond 150.

In the ongoing match against Australia A, India A lost 2 wickets without opening their account. At the same time, the team had lost 4 wickets at the score of 11 runs. After this, wicketkeeper-batsman Dhruv Jurel fought alone. He first shared a 53-run partnership with Devdutt Padikkal and was trying to bring India's innings back on track. Then Padikkal fell prey to Michael Neser at the score of 64.

Jurel still did not give up. He then added 91 runs with all-rounder Nitish Reddy and lower-order batsmen and took the team's score to 155. But this time he himself became the victim of the Australian bowler. After his departure, India could add only 6 runs. He could not put up a big score for India A. But thanks to his innings, India A's team managed to score a respectable score of 161 runs.

The entire team faced a total of 343 balls in the first innings, out of which Dhruv Jurel alone played 186 balls. That means Jurel alone faced more than half of the balls in the innings. He also contributed almost half of the total runs in the team's score. Seeing Jurel's fight, the commentators were forced to praise him. A commentator said that Dhruv Jurel's mentality and demeanor are very much like Virat Kohli's.

Earlier, when he helped India beat England with his brilliant batting, he was compared to Dhoni. Let us tell you that Jurel's father has served in the Indian Army. Jurel also likes the army very much and whenever he plays a big innings, he celebrates it by saluting.
