Dhruv Jurel, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Devdutt Padikkal from Team India were captured in a peaceful photo. The picture was taken in Dharamsala, before the 5th Test against England. The last match of this series is set to start on March 7. The venue is Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala itself.
The team leads the series 3-1 after four games. Many players have already arrived in Dharamsala for the final Test. Among those already there are Jaiswal, Jurel, and Padikkal.
Yashasvi Jaiswal is the top batsman in the series. He scored a striking 655 runs. His average is 93.57, impressive. He’s smashed the ball for two epic 200s. He also made 2 solid 50s in the span of just four matches.
Dhruv Jurel had a huge effect in both games he played thus far, scoring 175 runs at an average of 87.50 and hitting two fifties.
Devdutt Padikkal joined the team halfway through the series. This happened because KL Rahul’s fitness issues made him step back. Yet, Padikkal’s first Test Match is still to come.
Jurel came to Instagram on Sunday and posted a photo with Rajasthan Royals (RR) teammates Jaiswal and Padikkal from Dharamsala on his account. Watch it below:
Anil Kumble praises Dhruv Jurel’s credentials to match MS Dhoni’s legacy
Former Indian captain Anil Kumble recently praised Dhruv Jurel for his outstanding performances in the third and fourth Test victories against England in the ongoing series. Speaking with Jio Cinema, Kumble stated:
“Dhruv Jurel certainly has all the credentials to get to where MS (Dhoni) reached in his career. He’s not just shown the temperament of his technique to defence but even when he’s attacking. Even in that first innings, he was very assured, he went after and then hit those big sixes.

Anil Kumble was particularly delighted with Jurel’s glove performance behind the wickets and believes he may be a key component of the team if he gets more experience in international cricket. The famed spinner continued:
“He’s (Jurel) been exceptional, especially of the faster bowlers…He’s only going to improve. This is only his second Test and I’m sure as he starts playing more and more he’ll only get better. And it only augers well for India. And to have him in a squad is exceptional.”
