India are currently leading England 2-1 in the five-match Test series. Jurel is coming off a Test debut at Rajkot, where India won by 434 runs. In that game, he made a confident 46 while pulling off a stunning run-out of Ben Duckett \u2013 collecting, running and dislodging the stumps in a single motion - in the second innings, thus showing that he\u2019s adept at both skills in the longer format.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"My dream is to meet Mahi bhai especially after the match, that too after an international game, in the Indian jersey. Whenever I have talked to him, I have always learnt something new from him and that has been very helpful in my cricket. So, I will hope that I get a chance to meet him during the fourth Test at Ranchi,\" he said in a video posted by BCCI on \u2018X\u2019.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Jurel is the fourth wicketkeeper for India in Tests after Rishabh Pant\u2019s accident in December 2022 meant he is on the long road to recovery. India had previously tried KS Bharat, Ishan Kishan and KL Rahul in the wicketkeeper-batter slot in Tests, but none of them fit the bill.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Jurel\u2019s good show on Test debut earned him plaudits for his glovework and batting temperament. He also recalled his first meeting with Dhoni in IPL 2023, which was also his first season with Rajasthan Royals.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"I was just watching him and then, I stood up and started thinking \u2018Is this MS Dhoni standing in front of me?\u2019. My first interaction with him was in IPL 2023 which was my first season. At that time, I was pinching myself to see whether it is a dream or not.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"When I got to him, I said, \u2018Sir, bhaiya\u2019 and from inside, I was thinking \u2018How should I be addressing him?\u2019 I then asked him, \u2018Can I have a picture with you?\u2019 and then the click was taken. He gave me just one advice: just go out and watch the ball and play.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2024\/02\/dhruv-jurel-hoping-to-meet-ms-dhoni-during-ranchi-test.jpg", "alt_img": "Dhruv Jurel hoping to meet MS Dhoni during Ranchi Test", "alt_title": "Rajkot: Second Day Of The Third Cricket Test Match Between India And England", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "Dhruv Jurel Hoping To Meet MS Dhoni During Ranchi Test On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "Dhruv Jurel Hoping To Meet MS Dhoni During Ranchi Test, Dhruv Jurel: Ahead of the fourth Test between India and England at the JSCA Stadium in Ranchi, starting on February.", "seo_keywords": "Dhruv Jurel, MS Dhoni, Ranchi Test, JSCA Stadium, Ben Duckett, Rishabh Pant, KS Bharat, Ishan Kishan, KL Rahul, Rajasthan Royals", "tag": "", "tagging": "Dhruv Jurel, MS Dhoni, Ranchi Test, JSCA Stadium, Ben Duckett, Rishabh Pant, KS Bharat, Ishan Kishan, KL Rahul, Rajasthan Royals", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "dhruv-jurel-hoping-to-meet-ms-dhoni-during-ranchi-test", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "824", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "1", "created": "2024-02-21 12:02:03", "updated": "2024-02-21 12:02:03", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "Dhruv Jurel, MS Dhoni, Ranchi Test, JSCA Stadium, Ben Duckett, Rishabh Pant, KS Bharat, Ishan Kishan, KL Rahul, Rajasthan Royals", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2024-02-21 12:02:03", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "1", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": null, "article_content_type": null, "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/dhruv-jurel-hoping-to-meet-ms-dhoni-during-ranchi-test-138696" }
