Dhurv Jurel: On a quiet night in Ahmedabad on January 12, in the middle of India A’s two-day tour match against England Lions, Dhruv Jurel was given a call-up to the Test team for the upcoming series against England, starting in Hyderabad on January 25.

At first he couldn’t believe it, so as his father. "I was shocked! I was with the India A team, we were playing against the England Lions in a 2-day match. The news broke late in the night and when I found out, I immediately called my father to tell him.

"And his first question was, "Which Indian team? Aren’t you already playing for one of them?'. I said, 'The same one in which Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma play'. He couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t believe it too!” recalled Jurel to the Rajasthan Royals official website.
