BBC Test Match Special: Former England captain Sir Alastair Cook said he was left impressed with how India wicketkeeper-batter Dhruv Jurel picked lengths and was quick in his decision-making while steering the hosts to acing the chase of 192 in the fourth Test at the JSCA International Stadium here on Monday.

Playing in just his second Test match, Jurel made a career-best terrific 90 in the first innings, which kept India in the match and narrowed the deficit to 46. On the fourth day, he combined with Shubman Gill to stitch an unbroken 72-run match-winning stand for the sixth wicket to help India get over the line to win the match and series.

“What impressed me was how he picked the length. He was so fast at making the right decision. You see his trigger movement -– this was at the start of the partnership on a wide ball -– but he’s so good at getting back and forward and making the right decision at the right time for that ball,” said Cook.
