Tim Paine Backs Dhruv Jurel To Shine In Border-Gavaskar Trophy
Former Australian Test: Former Australian Test captain Tim Paine believes that young wicketkeeper-batter Dhruv Jurel can make a big impact for India during the upcoming Border-Gavaskar series.
Jurel, who has only played three matches, was mainly included in India's touring party for the five-match Test series in Australia as a back-up for regular keeper Rishabh Pant. He impressed during a recent match for India A against Australia A in Melbourne with his 80 and 68 for at the MCG in last week’s four-day clash.
After witnessing the right-handers' batting display against Australia A, the former Aussie skipper thinks the 23-year-old could play as a specialist batter in the opening Test of the summer in Perth.
