    Nitish Kumar Reddy: Former India batter Cheteshwar Pujara believes young wicketkeeper-batter Dhruv Jurel is deserving of the spot in the playing eleven for the upcoming first Test against South Africa, suggesting that he could bat at number six in the line-up.

    India assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate all but confirmed Jurel’s inclusion for the game starting at Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Friday during a pre-match press conference, with him and senior gloveman Rishabh Pant set to be included in the same playing eleven after all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy was released from the squad.

    “Well, firstly, the kind of form he is in, Dhruv Jurel definitely deserves a spot in the playing eleven. I believe that he will bat at number six, that's what I am guessing. So the Indian top order will remain the same as what we saw in England.
