Dhruv Jurel
Wicketkeeper-batter Dhruv Jurel built a strong case for a possible Test XI inclusion with his second successive fifty, but it was not enough to prevent India âA' going down to Australia âA' by six wickets on Day Three of the second and final unofficial Test here on Saturday.
With this defeat, India âA' lost the two-match series 0-2, as the visitors had earlier lost the first unofficial Test by seven wickets at Mackay.
Resuming from overnight 73-5, Jurel, who made a valiant 80 in the first innings, once again stood tall amid the ruins with a patient 68 off 122 balls during which he hit five boundaries.
Jurel shared vital 94 runs with Nitish Kumar Reddy (38) before being dismissed.
