Chasing a challenging 202, Rajasthan rode on a blistering start from Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who smashed 78 off just 26 balls, before Jurel anchored the innings with an unbeaten 81 off 43 deliveries, his highest score in T20 cricket, to seal the chase with two overs to spare at the Baraspara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Impressed by his temperament and skill, Rayudu said Jurel is an \u201camazing talent\u201d who is currently not getting his due recognition.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cHe has shown a lot of class in terms of skill as well as his temperament. He really stood out. He looks to be a very, very mature batsman now. It's time that he steps up in terms of all the formats of the game, hopefully for India,\u201d Rayudu told ESPNCricinfo.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Entering at No. 3 after Yashasvi Jaiswal was dismissed early, Jurel displayed exceptional composure during a tense chase. While Sooryavanshi\u2019s aggressive batting helped RR reach a record score of 97\/1 in the powerplay, Jurel maintained stability through the middle overs, particularly as RCB fought back with disciplined bowling.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Highlighting how Jurel has flown under the radar despite strong performances, Rayudu added, \u201cI think the world needs to talk about him a little more than what they generally do. He's flying under the radar right now. In Indian cricket, I don't see many people being more talented than him in terms of being a complete batsman. So he's an amazing talent and I don't think he should be [overlooked]. He should be given his due.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
