Dhruv Jurel’s explosive entry into the ICC Test rankings comes as a shock to Sarfaraz Khan
ICC Test Rankings: This time, the most anticipated thing in the ICC Rankings was what happens to Team India’s new player Dhruv Jurel. At the same time, attention also turned to Sarfaraz’s placement. While Jurel made everyone happy, Sarfaraz was disappointed. Dhruv has made a spectacular entry into the ICC Test rankings. Now he has been included in the list of the 100 best players in the world. In addition, he has managed to defeat many big players.
Good Test debut for Dhruv Jurel
Dhruv Jurel made his international debut in the Test series against England. In the very first innings of his debut, he played an explosive innings of 46 runs against England. He may not have managed to complete his half-century, but he managed to leave his mark. When he then played his second Test match in Ranchi, he showed his talent there again. Dhruv Jurel played a valuable innings of 90 runs in the first innings of the Ranchi Test and in the second innings when the Indian team was in slight trouble, he scored an unbeaten 39 runs and returned from the field only after giving India the win.
Dhruv enters the top 100 with a jump of 39 places
When the ICC Test rankings were released after Dhruv Jurel’s first Test, he failed to achieve his place among the top 100 batsmen. But this time he went straight to number 69. He has moved up 39 places. His rating is currently 461. If he scores runs in the same manner in the next Test, he can soon be included in the list of top 50 players. After playing just two Tests, he has left behind the likes of Jason Holder of the West Indies, Kyle Mayers and Marco Jansen of South Africa.
Sarfaraz Khan from top 100
Earlier, Sarfaraz Khan, who made his debut for India in the same series, also had a strong entry in the ICC Test rankings. But in the Ranchi Test, he failed to score many runs and fell victim to a golden duck, which is why he is now out of the top 100 list. It remains to be seen how the Indian players fare when the new rankings are released after the last Test.
