Dhruv Jurel lauds Rohit Sharma's leadership, shares team insights
What's the story
Dhruv Jurel, a rising star in Indian cricket, has praised the leadership style of skipper Rohit Sharma.
The young wicketkeeper-batter made his debut for India earlier this year under Rohit's captaincy.
In a recent interview with Sports Tak, Jurel described Rohit as an approachable and relaxed leader who easily interacts with junior players.
He said that it doesn't feel like there is a senior-junior gap when you talk to him.
Captain's support
Jurel appreciates Rohit's efforts to make young players comfortable
Jurel, who has represented India in three Tests and two T20Is, also highlighted how Rohit goes the extra mile to make young players feel at ease.
He said that Rohit always told him, 'If you need any help just come over, I don't have any problem.'
This supportive attitude from the captain made Jurel feel comfortable when his name came up for Test cricket.
Team dynamics
Jurel reveals close bond with Rajasthan Royals teammates
When asked about his closest friends within the Indian national team, Jurel named his Rajasthan Royals teammates Riyan Parag and Yashasvi Jaiswal.
He said that they are his closest friends among India cricket team players, and they also play for RR.
This revelation provides a glimpse into the team dynamics under Rohit's leadership, where open communication and camaraderie seem to be key elements.
Bangladesh series
Will Jurel be selected for Bangladesh Tests?
Team will next be seen in the upcoming two-Test series against Bangladesh at home, starting on September 19.
It will be interesting to see if Jurel gets a nod as he impressed in his debut Test series against England.
The wicketkeeper-batter gave a hard time to English bowlers, clobbering 190 runs across three matches at 63.33.
However, his selection is not certain due to Rishabh Pant's availability.
