1st Test: Dhruv Jurel Celebrates His Maiden Test Hundred With An Iconic Army Drill
Indian Army Havildar: India's Dhruv Jurel marked his maiden Test hundred with a deeply emotional celebration on the second day of the first Test against the West Indies, paying tribute to his father, Nem Chand, a retired Indian Army Havildar and Kargil War veteran.
Upon reaching the landmark off 190 balls, the 25-year-old wicketkeeper-batter from Agra mimicked an army march drill with his bat, a grand gesture that carried a powerful personal resonance. While Jurel had previously saluted to acknowledge milestones, this time he offered a full guard-of-honour march for his first Test ton.
Jurel’s innings was one of maturity and poise, blending resilience with fluency. Walking in at No. 5 in the absence of the injured Rishabh Pant, he struck 12 boundaries and two sixes en route to 125 from 210 balls.
