Indian batsman hit 3 half-centuries in 3 consecutive innings in England, tension of selectors increased
IND vs ENG, Dhruv Jurel’s 3rd Consecutive Fifty: Before the India vs England Test series, India A team is playing a practice match against England Lions. In which wicketkeeper batsman Dhruv Jurel has performed brilliantly and has increased the tension of Team India's selectors by hitting three consecutive half-centuries.
There is going to be a five-Test series between India and England on June 20. Prior to that, India A and England Lions are playing practice matches. There, India's wicket-keeper batter Dhruv Jurel has played amazingly and scored half-centuries in three successive innings. Jurel has increased the difficulties of the Indian team management by hitting a hat-trick of half-centuries. With this, the demand to give Jurel a chance in the Test series against England has increased. Now it remains to be seen whether the team management gives him a chance, or like Australia, he will have to spend this series on the bench.
Dhruv Jurel scored 94 runs in the first innings and 53 not out in the second innings in the first unofficial Test against England Lions in Canterbury. After this, he scored 52 runs in the first innings of the second practice test. In such a situation, he should get a place in the first Test against England, but the irony is that there is no place in the team. If he is made to play, then whose place can he take? This is the biggest question.
KL Rahul can open with Yashasvi Jaiswal for the first Test against England. The third and fourth spots are for Karun Nair and Shubman Gill. Following this, the team's vice-captain, Rishabh Pant, will bat at number five, while star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja will come in at number six. After that, either Nitish Kumar Reddy or Shardul Thakur will follow.
In this way, it is difficult for Dhruv Jurel to make it to the top seven positions. However, the team management can give Jurel a chance by reducing one all-rounder or bowler, which is very unlikely.
