Batter Jurel set to be part of playing XI

DHRUV Jurel has always had grandiose ambitions. Young players would demur at the sight of Kumar Sangakkara, one of the finest batters of his generation.

Jurel, after the 2022 IPL final, knocked on San-gakkara’s door to have a conversation about his pathway to the first team. It didn’t matter that the team had Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson and Shimron Hetmyer, players who could keep wickets or be the designated finisher. Jurel, only 21 then, wanted clarity with regards to his own career.
In a way, this example very neatly describes a vision Jurel has of himself. It also kind of captures what makes him tick as an individual; his mental capacities. “Be like water,” he had once recalled to this daily a quote attributed to Bruce Lee. “Adjust to the object and you shall find a way round or through.”
Play as a wicketkeeper? Check. Play as a No. 5? Check. Play as a No. 8? Check. Play as a specialist batter? Check.
