After Rishabh Pant was snubbed from participation in the India vs. West Indies home tour, Dhruv Jurel got the opportunity to feature as India's first-choice keeper for the series. He too grabbed the opportunity with grace, starting off with a maiden Test century in the First Test in Ahmedabad.
Coming into the second Test as well, Jurel has earned rave reviews for his glove work and has continued to plunder runs with whatever opportunity the team has provided him. While Nitish Kumar Reddy was sent in early in the second Test, Dhruv Jurel featured at no. 6 and scored a quickfire 44 before getting castled by Roston Chase.
“We always knew that he’s a quality player. Obviously, the 100 in the first Test and also the way he went about it yesterday,” said Ten Doeschate after Stumps on Day 3.

Despite India's early dominance and bowling out the West Indies batters for 248 in the first innings, the final session of Day 3 ended in a rare victory for the West Indies. Shai Hope and John Campbell scored half-centuries and kept the West Indies' hopes alive for avoiding another innings defeat.
As the Indian spinners were handled with ease by the two Windies batters, Ten Doeschate, alongside showing his disgust for the track, also went on to praise Campbell for his well-played knock.
