With Rishabh Pant beside him, Dhruv Jurel scored 51 in the first Test and followed it with a second Test hundred in India’s series against Sri Lanka, taking his series tally to 173 runs at an average of 86.5, the performances reported on Aug. 25, 2026.
Before the Sri Lanka series, Jurel had gone eight innings without a 50-plus score and faced questions about his game against spin.
Indian team management has backed Jurel as a specialist middle-order batter even when he is not required to keep wickets.
