Speaking to the broadcasters, Jurel reported that he was feeling much better following his recovery from the hamstring injury. In their first match in Guwahati on May 15, RR faced PBKS, and he was added to the starting XI. Now, he will try to help the team secure the top two spots in the standings.

“Had a hamstring injury which could have worsened if I kept playing, so I took an off in the middle. Last game also I played as an impact sub so that there wouldn’t be the load of fielding. Now I’m feeling much better,” Jurel said.
During the match against SRH in Hyderabad, Jurel had to hobble off the field, giving RR a serious injury scare. When Jurel attempted to block Travis Head’s shot off Yuzvendra Chahal at the boundary line, he ended up spraining his hamstring.
