Dhruv Jurel’s journey from Agra to the Indian Test team has been marked by his relentless work ethic, meticulous training, and remarkable temperament. His consistent performances and cricketing mindset impressed national selectors and coaches alike, earning him a spot in the Indian Test side.
Jurel’s wicketkeeping has drawn comparisons to Wriddhiman Saha’s safe glovework, reflecting his attention to detail and reliability behind the stumps. As a batter, he exhibits a calm and composed temperament similar to Rahul Dravid, showing patience and maturity under pressure — qualities that are highly valued in Test cricket.
Mentored by Vikram Rathour and trained under coaches at the Rajasthan Royals’ academy, Jurel has steadily developed his game to meet the demands of the highest level. His temperament and skills have been key elements in his rise from domestic cricket to representing India on the international stage.
