India vs South Africa Test series starts from 14th November. The first test match will be played at Eden Gardens, Kolkata from 14th November. Before that, preparing the best playing eleven has become a headache-inducing task for the team management. Especially the wicketkeeper’s slot is causing great concern. Test team vice-captain Rishabh Pant will be returning from injury, on the other hand, Jurel has also staked claim for a place in the playing eleven by scoring centuries in both the innings of the second unofficial Test match against South Africa A.
Dhruv Jurel has also increased the concern of Team India management because not only against South Africa A, but before that he had also played a century in the first test match against West Indies. Meanwhile, former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra has talked about giving place to both Rishabh Pant and Dhruv Jurel in the playing eleven in the first test.
Give a chance to both Pant and Jurel…
Aakash Chopra said through his YouTube channel, “Rishabh Pant and Dhruv Jurel, both are in the squad. Rishabh is the vice-captain, so he will play. He will play and he should play. I believe that Dhruv Jurel should also get a chance. There should be a place for him in the playing eleven too. The question will be whether you will remove Sai Sudarshan from the top order or Nitish Kumar Reddy from the lower order.”
oust Nitish
Aakash Chopra further said that Sai Sudarshan should remain at number-3, but Nitish Kumar Reddy has not shown anything special by coming to his place. Chopra said that Nitish could be ousted, which would free up space for Dhruv Jurel.
