Dhruv Jurel, a young player, impressed on his India debut against England in Rajkot. Rohit Sharma, the captain, was also pleased by his crisp play behind the stumps, as he amassed 46 runs with the bat. In the meantime, Jurel talked candidly about the great cricketer MS Dhoni and the guidance the current captain of the Chennai Super Kings gave him before of the fourth Test in Ranchi.
When Dhruv Jurel first met Dhoni in the 2021 Indian Premier League.
the player was hesitant to request a picture following the Rajasthan Royals’ match against CSK. In addition to stating that he has always learned something from Dhoni throughout their meetings, the 23-year-old said it was a dream come true for him and that he can’t wait to see him again for India’s fourth Test.
“I was just observing him when I got up and wondered, ‘Is this MS Dhoni right in front of me?'” During my debut season in the IPL in 2021, I had my first conversation with him. Jurel stated in a video released by BCCI, “At the moment, I was pinching myself to see whether it is a dream or not.
Meeting Mahi bhai is my dream, especially following an international game. I hope I get to meet him during the fourth Test at Ranchi because every time I’ve spoken with him, I’ve always learned something new from him,” he continued.

Meanwhile, Jurel has guaranteed his spot in the playing XI with his disciplined hitting and outstanding catching. For the most part, the Indian squad tried KS Bharat in Rishabh Pant’s absence, however the batsman was unable to demonstrate his batting prowess. Ishan Kishan was the next player the team management tested, and he was about to have more chances, but the cricket player decided not to play, citing mental exhaustion.
That made room for Jurel, who made the most of his first-ever contest. The cricket player may be able to secure a central contract if he continues to put up strong performances and hold onto his spot in the current series.
