Mukund: Jurel must perform with the bat to keep his spot in the team

Ex-Indian cricketer Abhinav Mukund stated that Dhruv Jurel is not primarily in the squad as a wicketkeeper-batter. He emphasized, "He has to put up big scores to keep his position in the team." Mukund further remarked, "I am quite impressed with Jurel and I hold him in high regard as a Test batter." In the opening Test against Sri Lanka, Jurel contributed 51 runs.
