Centurion Dhruv Jurel stakes his claim for Test spot just as a batter after lone-man effort for India A

Dhruv Jurel is now seriously pushing for a spot of his own in the Indian Test team purely as a batter, as the wicketkeeper-batter has followed up his maiden Test ton last month against the West Indies, with a one-man effort of an unbeaten 132 for India A against South Africa A. With Rishabh Pant being named in the Test squad for the South Africa series, Jurel's spot as a keeper-batter is likely to get taken up, hence, the 24-year-old has to fight for a spot just as a pure batter and he is putting pressure on others.
