India are hosting South Africa for a two-match Test series, and the first match saw the defending champions of the WTC trashing the home side under spin-prevalent conditions. The second match started on a fairer pitch with better batting conditions.
Young Indian wicket-keeper Dhruv Jurel came to the limelight after he substituted for an injured Rishabh Pant during the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. Dhruv Jurel then replaced Pant for the West Indies tour and batted stunningly for his maiden Test hundred.
Despite no strong resistance from the batter at the Eden Gardens, he was promoted to the most important role in the Indian batting order, the position of No. 4. He replaced captain Shubman Gill, after the skipper was ruled out due to a neck spasm.
Even if the Tea break hadn't been close, this shot was not on - Parthiv Patel
Dhruv Jurel will have to face the heat and pressure of batting in such a crucial role. More than scoring runs, what matters the most in such roles is their keenness to continue batting and keep their composure.
"Even if the Tea break hadn't been close, this shot was not on. He is deservedly playing as a batter because he has scored a lot of runs. However, here, he wasn't in control at all. Generally, when the ball is outside the right shoulder of a right-handed batter, and you try to play it on the leg side, you are not in control. That ball mostly goes in the air, and that's what happened here," the cricketer-turned-commentator said on Star Sports.
"Secondly, when you are playing Marco Jansen, you need to keep the extra bounce in mind because he is so tall. He has let go of a third consecutive opportunity. He is getting to bat at No. 4. Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli used to bat at No. 4. Shubman Gill is batting at No. 4 now. He has also scored a lot of runs," he added.
