Dhruv Jurel is a player for the Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League. He has known the franchise captain, Sanju Samson, for years and is impressed with his leadership.
Jurel has been with Rajasthan for three years and is ready to play a finisher's role in the 2024 IPL. The young Indian batsman recently made his Test debut in the third Test of the five-match series against England.
Former players praised Jurel's wicketkeeping and batting skills. Sunil Gavaskar even compared him to MS Dhoni, but Jurel humbly refused the compliment and urged everyone to avoid making comparisons.
Jurel also drew a comparison between Sanju Samson and Rohit Sharma's captaincy styles, stating that Samson is similar to Sharma in his relaxed approach and willingness to give players freedom. Samson has been a helpful guide to Jurel both on and off the field:
“Samson tells me to enjoy the game without taking any pressure. He shares his experiences with me and taught me how to handle the media.”
