In the third Test match played at Lord’s, London, Rishabh Pant suffered a finger injury. After which young player Dhruv Jurail was seen taking responsibility for wicketkeeping in his place. Not only this, in the fourth Test too, he played like a substitute wicketkeeper. Jurail has not got a chance in this Test series yet but now he will be seen playing in the Oval Test. By the way, before the Oval Test, Jurail’s childhood coach Parvinder Yadav has given a big statement. He told what Gautam Gambhir said before giving Dhruv a chance.
Gautam Gambhir supported
Parvinder told the Times of India, ‘It is a very disappointing thing that there is no path. Jurail has been seen wicketkeeping in this series and he will have to show amazing with the bat. If they get a chance in the last Test, then it will be a good thing for Dhruv. Gautam Gambhir has spoken to him and he is very happy with his wicketkeeping. Not only this, the head coach of the Indian team also told the young player that ‘you will get a chance, be ready.’
Parvinder further said, ‘Gambhir spoke a lot to Jurail and encouraged him a lot. Not only this, he also said that he is a bone of the middle order of India. He also praised Jurail’s wicketkeeping and said that you will get a chance, wait and keep working hard. Gambhir also said that Dhruv has the ability to bat anywhere from number five to number eight. It will be a little difficult for them but I am confident that they can bat in any order.
Dhruv Jurail may get a chance in the last Test
Rishabh Pant will not be able to participate in the last Test match against England due to injury. Rahul will not be entrusted with the responsibility of wicketkeeping as he is also opening the team. If this happens, Jurail can get a chance in the fifth Test as a wicketkeeper. Jurail made a Test debut against England last year under Rohit’s captaincy and has scored 202 runs in four matches at an average of 40.40. He himself must be waiting for his opportunity.
