While all the eyes were on Sarfaraz Khan (deservedly so), another young talent Dhruv Jurel also made his big debut in the third Test against England in Rajkot. On Thursday, as Jurel joined the Indian team, tears of joy couldn’t stop from the eyes of his parents after seeing their son represent the country.
There was a time when Jurel’s parents could not afford a cricket kit for him. His father had to mortgage his gold chain to buy him a kit after he threatened to run away from the family. All their hard work and sacrifices have finally paid off and Jurel made them proud.
“Imagined, manifested, and rehearsed this day so many times ever since I first picked up the bat. My dream came true 🇮🇳,” said an emotional Jurel as he received the Test cap. Now, he is showing his love for the country with his bat.
