<p>IND vs ENG Test series has kept many engaged even before the series hasn?t started. The wait is about to get over as the first match of the series is just four days away from now. Hyderabad Uppal?s stadium will host the first game on 25th January. Both the teams have started their preparations and it promises to be an enthralling series.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">IND vs ENG: 2 players that India can try at No.3 in place of struggling Shubman Gill in Tests</h2>



<p>Young India batter <a href="https://www.cricbuzz.com/profiles/11808/shubman-gill" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.cricbuzz.com/profiles/11808/shubman-gill">Shubman Gill </a>hasn?t been able to make a mark in Test cricket. His decision to move to No.3 hasn?t paid off as well. The batter has failed drastically and hasn?t been able to score runs. He struggled a lot in South Africa and it won?t be a surprise if he doesn?t start in the IND vs ENG series.?</p>



<p>As the IND vs ENG series is around the corner, let?s take a look at 2 players that India can try at No.3 in place of struggling Shubman Gill in Tests;?</p>

<p><strong>KL Rahul</strong>?</p>



<p>KL Rahul will be one of the prime candidates to bat at No.3 in IND vs ENG Tests if Shubman Gill doesn?t start. The batter has been slotted as a keeper in the team but team management reportedly has told BCCI that they won?t want the batter to keep wickets in India. The right-hander is likely to bat in the middle-order. However, it won?t be a surprise if the team makes him bat at No.3. Rahul has been terrific in the Test format and it won?t be a surprise if he takes that spot in place of Gill.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Dhruv Jurel?</strong></p>



<p>Another player that might get an opportunity at No.3 in place of struggling Shubman Gill is young batter Dhruv Jurel. The keeper-batter has received his maiden call-up in the team and it won?t be a surprise if he starts straightway. He has been doing a terrific job in the domestic circuit. And his presence allows the team to bat a keeper in top three as well. Batting Jurel at 3, allows team to play extra batter as well.&nbsp;</p>

IND vs ENG: 2 players that India can try at No.3 in place of struggling Shubman Gill in Tests

ind-vs-eng-2-players-that-india-can-try-at-no-3-in-place-of-struggling-shubman-gill-in-tests

<p><strong>IND vs ENG 3rd Test: </strong>After the completion of the first two tests against England in Hyderabad and Vishakhapatnam, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (<a href="https://www.bcci.tv/">BCCI</a>) have decided to undergo a bit of change in the setup. With a revised squad announced for the last three test matches, the Indian side is expected to have a changed appearance in the upcoming 3rd test against England in Rajkot.</p>



<p>After having a lot of wicketkeeper KS Bharat, who hasn't impressed the selectors either with his batting or wicketkeeping duties, the limelight is anticipated to shift to young Dhruv Jurel. The young glovesman is likely to make his debut during the IND vs ENG 3rd Test in Rajkot's Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium.</p>



<p>In the 7 test matches played so far, KS Bharat has only managed to score 221 runs at a poor average of 20. </p>



<p>?Bharat?s batting has been well below par while his keeping hasn?t been great either. He isn?t making use of his chances," a source told TOI.</p>



<p>"Dhruv Jurel on the other hand is talented as a good attitude and has a bright future. He has done well for Uttar Pradesh, India A and the Rajasthan Royals in IPL. Don?t be surprised if Jurel makes his Test debut at Rajkot," he added.</p>



<p><strong>KL Rahul to be back into IND vs ENG playing11:</strong></p>



<p>In the other key development, KL Rahul is likely to be back into the playing11 after missing the second IND vs ENG test in Vishakhapatnam. Rahul suffered a quadriceps injury during the first test and was subsequently ruled out for the second game of the five-match series. However, the senior batter is back on the side and is expected to be fit to get into the playing11.</p>



<p><strong>Jasprit Bumrah workload management:</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/02/Jasprit-Bumrah-IND-vs-ENG.jpg" alt="IND vs ENG 3rd Test: NO Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul IN, Druv Jurel likely to Debut, India's Playing11 for 3rd Test" class="wp-image-126296" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image Source: BCCI.tv</figcaption></figure>



<p>Ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah, whose workload was in question during the last couple of days, is also likely to play in the IND vs ENG 3rd test in Rajkot. The game begins on February 15.</p>



<p>Bumrah, who has bowled the second most number overs in the first two tests for India, was rumoured to be rested for the 3rd game of the series. However, later developments asserted that it wouldn't be a wise call to rest the pacer, given the conditions in Rajkot favour the pacer. </p>



<p>But as a part of his workload management, Jasprit Bumrah will be rested in the Ranchi Test, which is the fourth assignment of the five-match series.</p>



<p><strong>Ravindra Jadeja's comeback subject to fitness:</strong></p>



<p>All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, who sustained a hamstring blow during the 1st test, is under examination by the medical staff at the National Cricket Academy (NCA). Though he has been named in the Indian squad for the next three tests, his appearance will be subject to his fitness levels.</p>

<p>IND vs ENG: A wicket-keeper batter in the Ranchi, town of MS Dhoni, bailed India out of trouble and brought them back into the game. It could?ve got any better for young batter Dhruv Jurel, who became the shining light of India on Day 3 of the ongoing Test against England.&nbsp;</p>



<p>India and <a href="https://www.ecb.co.uk" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.ecb.co.uk">England</a> are locking horns with each other in the fourth match of the five-match Test series at the Jharkhand Cricket Stadium in Ranchi. The IND vs ENG game has thrown counterpunches at every stage and so far fans have witnessed a breathtaking brand of cricket.?</p>



<p>After ending England's innings on 353, India struggled to get going with the bat. They were reeling at 117/7 and it was then when Dhruv Jurel stepped up and stood tall for his team in the IND vs ENG game. Just when it seemed India would be outplayed, the keeper-batter changed the course of the game.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Dhruv Jurel along with Kuldeep Yadav (28) added 76 runs partnership together and bailed India out of trouble. Once the leg-spinner got out, the keeper-batter set the stage on fire and took the attack to the England bowlers, smashing them all over the park.?</p>

<p>Dhruv Jurel showed great composure and played an outstanding innings in the IND vs ENG. He slammed his maiden Test half-century in the second Test of his career and was looking set for a big ton but missed his well-deserved ton by just 10 runs.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Dhruv Jurel ended with an innings of 90 runs off 149 balls. He also slammed 6 boundaries and 4 sixes in his innings. His valiant innings helped India get close to England total?s in the IND vs ENG game. India ended their innings with 307 runs.&nbsp;</p>

IND vs ENG: ?90 that's as good as a hundred? Fans salute Dhruv Jurel as he saves India in Ranchi

ind-vs-eng-90-thats-as-good-as-a-hundred-fans-salute-dhruv-jurel-as-he-saves-india-in-ranchi

<p>Dhruv Jurel, who came to bat at number seven in the ongoing Ranchi Test match against England, scored 90 runs in India's first inning. Earlier, he had made his debut in the Rajkot Test, where he played a brilliant inning of 46 runs. The situation of the Indian team was serious in the fourth test match, but Dhruv created a stir in the cricket world by playing his inning of 90 runs.</p>



<p>The 23-year-old wicketkeeper batsman played an important inning of 90 runs, comprising six fours and four sixes in the fourth test. The special thing about his innings was that he formed partnerships with lower-order batsmen. According to media reports, the team management is very impressed with his performance. It is believed that his place in the playing 11 in the last Test (7?11 March) is confirmed.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Father, the hero of Kargil war, kept his son away from cricket</h3>



<p>Dhruv Jurel, who was born in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, in 2001, has not had an easy path to this position. The story of his struggle is motivational for young athletes. The 22-year-old player's father did not want him to be a cricketer. He wanted his son to serve his country in the same way that he did. Dhruv's father, Nem Singh, was in the army and fought in the Kargil War.</p>



<p>While in Army School, he began attending swimming camps, but he was more interested in cricket than swimming. Dhruv used to play cricket at school during swimming classes. He enjoyed cricket so much that he changed his name from swimmer to cricketer.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Ranji and IPL Carrier of Dhruv Jurel</h3>



<p>Dhruv was chosen to represent India's under-19 team in the 2020 World Cup. Dhruv never looked back after this. He was also named vice-captain of the national Under-19 team in 2020. Dhruv's team lost to Bangladesh in the Under-19 World Cup final, but he won the Under-19 Asia Cup as captain. Dhruv began his career bowling off-spin, but later switched to wicket-keeping and impressed everyone. In addition to being a middle-order batsman, he became a wicketkeeper.</p>



<p>Dhruv has played 15 first-class matches for Uttar Pradesh 2022, scoring 790 runs, including a century and five half-centuries. Dhruv has also competed in 10 List-A and 23 T-20 matches. Rajasthan Royals (RR) included him in their team during the IPL 2022 mega auction for a base price of Rs 20 lakh.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/02/Dhruv-Jurel-2.jpg" alt="Dhruv Jurel" class="wp-image-127189" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Dhruv Jurel | Image: X (Punjab Kings)</figcaption></figure>



<p>The victory of the Indian team in the ongoing fourth Test match between India and England seems almost certain. By the end of the third day's play, the Indian team had scored 40 runs in just eight overs without losing any wicket. Rohit and Co. need 152 runs to win the Ranchi Test.</p>



<p>In the second innings, the Indian spinners came as a threat to the English batsmen. Indian spinners took a total of 10 wickets for England. Senior spinner Ashwin took five wickets for 51 runs in 15.5 overs, while mystery spinner Kuldeep Yadav took four wickets and Jadeja took one wicket. In the second inning, the English batsmen were all out for just 145 runs.</p>

Who is Dhruv Jurel? Father, the hero of Kargil war, kept his son away from cricket

who-is-dhruv-jurel-father-the-hero-of-kargil-war-kept-his-son-away-from-cricket

<p>The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) have awarded Team India's central contracts to wicketkeeper batter Dhruv Jurel and Sarfaraz Khan. The decision was taken on Monday after the two young batters fulfilled the basic criteria for inclusion in Team India's central contract list.</p>



<p>The BCCI while announcing the central contracts, a few weeks ago, noted that Dhruv Jurel and Sarfaraz Khan have not been included in the list and the two will only be taken into consideration once they meet the required criteria of playing three tests in the ongoing season.</p>



<p>Dhruv Jurel and Sarfaraz Khan played the Dharmshala test against England a few days ago, which apparently was their third test. The two made their debuts together against England in Rajkot during the third test. </p>



<p>Now after the latest additions to Team India's Central Contract lists, Dhruv Jurel and Sarfaraz Khan have been added to Group C. The two will get the annual retention sum of INR 1 Crores from the BCCI. Their names were, reportedly, ratified during the Apex Council Meeting of the BCCI on Monday (March 18).</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>List of Team India's Central Contract</strong></h2>



<p>Grade A+ (4 Athletes) - Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Ravindra Jadeja.</p>



<p>Grade A (6 Athletes) - Mohd. Shami, R Ashwin, Shubman Gill, Mohd. Siraj, KL Rahul, Hardik Pandya.</p>



<p>Grade B (5 Athletes) - Rishabh Pant, Surya Kumar Yadav, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Yashasvi Jaiswal.</p>



<p>Grade C (15 Athletes) - Tilak Verma, Ruturaj Gaekwad, Rinku Singh, Shivam Dube, Ravi Bishnoi, Shardul Thakur, Jitesh Sharma, Avesh Khan, Mukesh Kumar, Sanju Samson, Washington Sundar, KS Bharat, Prasidh Krishna, Arshdeep Singh, Rajat Patidar, <strong>Dhruv Jurel, Sarfaraz Khan.</strong></p>



<p><strong>Necessary Requirement: </strong>Athletes who meet the criteria of playing a minimum of 3 Tests or 8 ODIs or 10 T20Is within the specified period will automatically be included in Grade C on a pro-rata basis.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Iyer, Kishan dropped from team India's Central Contracts</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/01/Shreyas-Iyer-Ishan-Kishan-1-1024x740.jpg" alt="Shreyas Iyer, Ishan Kishan dropped from Team India's Central Contracts." class="wp-image-125149" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image Source: Royalchallengers.com</figcaption></figure>



<p>The BCCI's central contract announcement made quite a bit of sensation a few weeks ago. The Indian Cricket Board excluded the likes of Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer from its annual contracts. If the reports are to be believed, the decision to drop Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer from the central contracts was taken in the aftermath of their decision not to make themselves available for domestic tournaments despite not playing the international as well.</p>



<p>Interestingly, Ishan Kishan midway through the South Africa tour asked the authorities to free him of his duties and subsequently headed home. Since then, the southpaw hasn't made himself available for selection neither at the international level nor for the domestic tournaments.</p>



<p>Shreyas Iyer, on the other side, was dropped midway through the India vs England Test due to his poor performance. Iyer didn't inform the NCA of any possible injury concerns and also not made himself available for selection for the Ranji games.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Dhruv Jurel, Sarfaraz Khan to shine in IPL 2024</strong></h2>



<p>After getting rewarded for their magnificent show in the red-ball cricket, now it's time for both the batters to make a strong statement in the T20s as well. The two will be in action for their IPL franchises in the upcoming Tata <a href="https://IPLt20.com">IPL</a> 2024.</p>



<p>While Jurel plays for Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the IPL, Sarfaraz Khan has been associated with Delhi Capitals (DC) for quite a long time in the Indian Premier League (IPL). </p>

<p>Rajasthan Royals started the tournament with absolute blockbuster outings where they won 8 out of their first 9 matches. They had very high chances of getting the top 2 ranks in the IPL points table in the league stage but their downfall started from their match against Hyderabad where they lost the game by just 1 run. They kept losing the next three as well and finished 3rd in the points table with 17 points.</p>



<p>They got their matchup against RCB, who were riding on the winning carpet from the last 6 matches. RR were rock-solid in the Eliminator round eliminating RCB with an all-round show but this time it was SRH and the surface of Chennai. They were, however, the favorites as they have two best spinners in the form of Ashwin and Chahal but it wasn't meant to be their night.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="srh-vs-rr-qualifier-2-match-summary"><strong>SRH vs RR Qualifier 2 Match Summary </strong></h2>



<p>Winning the toss, Sanju Samson opted to bowl first, keeping the dew factor in mind. They asked SRH to bat first and Boult got the first over wicket after eating 13 runs in the first 5 balls. Rahul Tripathi came set from the dressing room and played a fiery innings of 37 runs in just 15 balls and fell prey to the slower one from Boult.</p>



<p>After analyzing in a couple of moments in the first couple of overs, RR found that the slower balls are much more effective on this surface and they used a lot of them and also got success. Heinrich Klaasen stood up to the expectations after the team fell down to 120 for 6 wickets after 14 overs. He scored 50 runs in 34 balls in a tough pitch to bat on and a run-a-ball 18 runs innings from Shahbaz Ahmed helped them to post 175 on the board. </p>

<p>The thing to notice from RR bowling is their spinner at over 70 runs in their 8 overs with no wickets. There wasn't much zip off the surface in the first innings and due wasn't there that lit up the eyes of the SRH bowlers.</p>



<p>Royals started cautiously and were in very good condition at the top. Jaiswal looked in his actual form in this match playing a 42-run innings with a strike rate of 200. The thing that took RR away from the game was the surprising spin off the surface in the second innings. The key wickets for SRH came from the spin duo of Abhishek Sharma and Shahbaz Ahmed.</p>



<p>Shahbaz, the hero with a three-for including two in one over, got the big wickets of Jaiswal and Parag. Abhishek took care of Samson and Hetmyer and that middle-overs slump never allowed RR to get back. The pitch got progressively slower and strokemaking became difficult. Tremendous captaincy from Cummins who realized that spin was the way to go and threw the ball to his tweakers.</p>

<p>Dhruv Jurel was the only one left warrior but his impressive 56-run innings wasn't enough to take down the mighty SRH and the Sunrisers won the match by 36 runs. Sunrisers Hyderabad are through to the finals and they will face Kolkata Knight Riders in the final of TATA IPL 2024.</p>

IPL 2024 Stats, Players With Most Runs and Most Wickets Full Updated List, Orange Cap and Purple Cap After SRH vs RR Qualifier 2

ipl-2024-stats-players-with-most-runs-and-most-wickets-full-updated-list-orange-cap-and-purple-cap-after-srh-vs-rr-qualifier-2

<p>Indian Cricket Team's head-coach Gautam Gambhir has dropped a huge hint regarding the team's starting 11 for the first test match versus Bangladesh at Chennai's Chepauk Stadium on Thursday.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Interacting with the media at the M.A Chidambaram Stadium on the eve of the first-test, Gautam made the selection debate between Rishabh Pant and Dhruv Jurel, and Sarfaraz Khan and Lokesh Rahul come to an end.&nbsp;</p>



<p>After performing consistently in First-class-Cricket over the years and constantly knocking on the doors of the selectors for a really long time with his impressive Ranji Trophy performances, Sarfaraz Khan finally got the opportunity to make his maiden test appearance for the Men in Blue in the home test series versus England earlier in the year.</p>



<p>The 26-year-old scored fifties continuously in his debut test in the city of Ranchi, and he scored yet another half-century in the city of Dharamsala as well, showcasing his batting-prowess against both the pacers and the spinners.</p>



<p>However, he got the opportunity to make his test-debut after KL Rahul was ruled out of the England series due to an injury he suffered in the Rajkot test match.</p>



<p>With KL Rahul returning to Team India's Test set-up after his long injury layoff, Gambhir insisted that Khan will have to play the waiting game and wait for his chances, given the fact that the experience of Lokesh Rahul will play an important role in the Men in Blue?s build up towards the upcoming Border Gavaskar test-series versus Australia in December of this year.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/09/gettyimages-2012700593-612x612-1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-147279" style="width:424px;height:auto" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Sarfaraz Khan leaves the field after being runout by Mark Wood of England during day one of the 3rd Test Match between India  and England at Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium on February 15, 2024 in Rajkot, India.

<p>The world Cup winning head coach said the same thing about Dhruv Jurel as well, who made an excellent start to his test-career versus England earlier in the year, executing a man-of-the-match display in the Ranchi test-match.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/09/gettyimages-2039952331-612x612-1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-147281" style="width:451px;height:auto" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Dhruv Jurel during day four of the 4th Test Match between India and England at JSCA International Stadium Complex on February 26, 2024 in Ranchi, India. (Photo by Gareth Copley/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



<p>GG backed Rishabh Pant to make his long awaited test comeback after getting side lined due to a horrific car-accident. The wicketkeeper batsman's last match in the longest format of the game was way back in 2022 versus Bangladesh in Mirpur.</p>



<p>"We are not going to drop any player from the starting 11. We are just going to select the players who are best suited to fit in the playing XI. He (Dhruv Jurel) is a fantastic player and had a good test debut versus England but when Pant is available for selection, then you have to play the waiting game. Same goes with Sarfaraz (Khan) as well. Opportunities will arrive at the right time and you just have to wait patiently,? Gambhir said.&nbsp;</p>



<p>With the Rohit Sharma-led team participating in a really long Test-season, the young players will definitely get chances to impress with the team-management expected to rotate all the players and manage their workload accordingly. </p>
