Pant, who was appointed as vice-captain ahead of the England series, was ruled out of the West Indies series due to injury. Pant missed the fifth and final Test against England, where Jurel was picked in the playing XI. Jurel retained his place in the squad after Pant failed to recover in time for the home Tests.
The 24-year-old came in at No. 5 following the dismissal of Shubman Gill in the morning session. He started cautiously, hitting his first four only on the 38th ball he faced. He formed a steady partnership with Ravindra Jadeja for the fifth wicket after KL Rahul was dismissed shortly after lunch.

Dhruv Jurel became just the third Indian wicketkeeper-batter to score a hundred at home against the West Indies. He joined MS Dhoni and Farokh Engineer in the elite list. Dhoni had recorded 144 in the 2011 Kolkata Test, while Engineer scored 109 during the 1967 Chennai Test.
Overall, Jurel has hit his third hundred in First-Class (FC) cricket. He has amassed over 1,800 FC runs at an average of around 49, with 13 scores of fifty or more.
