Shubman Gill and Dhruv Jurel orchestrated a remarkable 72-run partnership, propelling India to a resounding five-wicket triumph over England in the fourth Test match held in Ranchi. This victory not only displayed India’s dominance but also positioned them with a commanding 3-1 lead in the five-match series. Despite facing early setbacks, India persevered, successfully chasing down a target of 192 runs in the fourth inning on Monday.
Even when the scoreboard reflected a precarious 120-5, Gill (52) and Jurel (39) seamlessly steered their team towards victory with an unyielding partnership on the fifth day of the Test. Noteworthy was the valiant effort from young England spinner Shoaib Bashir, who claimed three wickets, momentarily impeding India’s momentum before Gill and Jurel took charge. With this triumph, India clinched the series 3-1, leaving only one game remaining in Dharamshala.
Incredible things have been happening for Dhruv Jurel ever since he made his test debut in the third test in Rajkot. After KS Bharat had batting problems, Jurel took advantage of the situation and started making a difference right away. His 46 runs, scored confidently throughout his innings, demonstrated his skill when he batted at number eight. At Ranchi, however, he proved his value by batting a crucial 90 runs to lift India from a 177-7 deficit to a respectable 307.

In addition to his technical aspects, Jurel stands out for his ability to remain composed under pressure. He saved India in the second inning when they were down and out, using his guile to get them out of a jam. The rapid ascent to prominence and steady performance of Jurel highlight his future promise as a significant contributor to the Indian cricket squad.
After the game, Dhruv Jurel mentioned that he is a devout follower of Lord Hanuman, affectionately referred to as Bajrangbali ji. He shared that, as a part of his daily routine, he listens to the Shree Hanuman Chalisa repeatedly every morning.
