Dhruv Jurel creates history, smashes back-to-back century. Let's take a look at this photo collection to find out against which team he smashed the centuries.
Star India's wicketkeeper-batter Dhruv Jurel has been in a red-hot form recently as he is consistently scoring runs.
Jurel was picked in the Test squad for the West Indies tour as an injury replacement for Rishabh Pant, where he went on to score a century.
Following his century in the first innings of the second unofficial Test against South Africa A under difficult circumstances, he smashed a century in the second innings as well.
Jurel is only the second batter, after Naman Ojha, to score centuries in both innings for India A. This is Jurel's fifth century in first-class cricket.
Dhruv Jurel scored 127 runs in the second innings of the match being played at the BCCI Centre of Excellence (CoE) Ground, where he came in to bat at number 7.
The India's A team appeared to be in trouble, as they lost five wickets for 116 runs. From there, Jurel steadied the innings, reaching his century off 159 balls.
Jurel faced 170 balls to score 127 runs, which included 15 fours and a six in his innings. He remained unbeaten as India A declared their innings at 382 for 7.
Rishabh Pant scored 65 runs off 54 balls but was retired hurt after being struck three times. While Pant has an impressive Test record, Dhruv Jurel's batting will certainly put pressure on the team.
India A have put a target of 417 runs to win the match. India scored 255 runs in the first innings with the help of Dhruv Jurel's 132 runs. South Africa A was restricted to 221 runs. After taking a 34-run lead in the first innings, India posted 382 runs in the second innings.
