Team India keeper Dhruv Jurel credits the lower-order batsmen as India pick up a crucial win at Ranchi. The hosts secured a 5-wicket win IND vs ENG 4th Test, taking a 3-1 lead in the series. Jurel played a major role with the bat in both innings, scoring a 90 and a 39-run unbeaten knock.
Jurel credits lower-order batters, Gill for IND vs ENG 4th Test win
“I play according to the demands of the situation. The 1st innings, we needed to get runs as well, we knew we had to bat last and so any runs would be vital. I was involved in some partnerships, so credit does go to all those who stayed and added runs. I just saw the ball and then reacted to it, not thinking too far ahead. The conversation was good (with Shubman Gill in the 2nd innings), we just broke it into 10-run sets and started developing the partnership,” Jurel says at the post-match presentation.
IND vs ENG 4th Test
India held their nerves to register an emphatic win in the 4th Test at Ranchi. A sensational spell from Ashiwn and Kuldeep ensured India had their task cut short on Day 3. However, England fought back fiercely at the start of Day 4, grabbing five wickets.
Yashasvi Jaiswal (37) was the first to go on Day 4, with Joe Root striking. India skipper Rohit Sharma (55) raced to a half-century in the 1st session before he was dismissed by Hartley. Rajat Patidar, Sarfaraz Khan and Ravindra Jadeja perished for single-digit scores soon after.
Jurel (39) and Gill (52) guided India to a comfortable victory post lunch. India beat England by 5 wickets to win the 4th Test.
