Dhruv Jurel has all credentials to get to where Dhoni reached: Anil Kumble

Indian wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel showed exceptional temperament and technique in the 4th test between India and England even when it was just his 2nd international test match. Although the selectors would be impressed with his performance, they are yet again faced with a problem of plenty as far selections are considered as and when Rishabh Pant gets fit to play. 

Former Indian spinner Anil Kumble left the choice to the selectors but pointed to similarities between Dhruv Jurel and MS Dhoni on Jio Cinema. "Oh yes, there's Rishabh Pant. We don't know of course when he comes, comes back whenever that happens. Sooner hopefully for Rishabh. But otherwise, yes, he certainly has all the credentials to get to where MS (Dhoni) reached in his career. But he's shown that he's not just shown the temperament of his technique to defence but even when he's attacking. Even in that first innings he was very assured he went after and then hit those big sixes when he was batting with the tail and hats off even behind the stumps. He's been exceptional. Especially, of the faster bowlers. Spinners again, took a couple of really good catches and he's only going to improve. This is only his second Test and I'm sure as he starts playing more and more he'll only get better. And it only augurs well for India. And to have him in a squad is exceptional,” Kumble said.
