5th Indian wicketkeeper who does so

Dhruv Jurlel is the fifth Indian wicketkeeper batsman to score his Test debut against the West Indies. Before him, Vijay Manjrekar, Farooq Engineer, Ajay Ratra and Wriddhiman Saha have done this. His first century has come in the 9th innings of Test career and before that he was able to score only one fifty. Prior to this century, Jurael’s highest score in Test was 90 runs, which he scored against England in 2024.

Dhruv Jurael has scored this century while batting at the fifth order and he was able to find a place in the playing XI because Rishabh Pant is still injured. It is also worth noting that the number-3 batsman’s slot in the Indian Test team is still empty, because Sai Sudarshan is continuously flopping. With this century innings, somewhere Jurael must have warned Sudarshan.

When we look at Dhruv Jurael’s Test career, he made his debut against England last year. Before the first Test match against the West Indies, he scored 255 runs in 8 innings.
