Riyan Parag was overjoyed to hear that his Rajasthan Royals teammate Dhruv Jurel has been called up for the first time by India for the first two Test matches against England. The exciting match between India and England has been set in motion by their impending match, which is expected to begin in Hyderabad on January 25. Before the series began on Friday, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) released the lineup for the first two Test matches.

Jurel has played 15 first-class matches, but in that short time, he has made a significant impression with an average of 46.47, which includes five half-centuries and a century. His impressive display for India A versus South Africa A, where he scored a respectable 69 in Benoni, is evidence of his potential.
Jurel to mingle with legendary Indians
While he may not be expected to start as India’s first-choice wicketkeeper, sharing the changing room with legends would undoubtedly be a valuable learning curve for the aspiring player. Jurel revealed his family’s first disbelief when he shared his moment of choice with them. His father asked him about the Indian cricket squad after he revealed his inclusion, and his response was straightforward but insightful: “The one with Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli.”
My dad was overjoyed when I informed him. He inquired as to which Indian team I had been chosen for. “The one featuring Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli!” I exclaimed. It was an emotional time for the entire family,” Jurel said as quoted by Dainik Jagran.
