Dhruv Jurel and KL Rahul were the two early birds from India's Test squad to arrive in Australia for the Border Gavaskar Trophy (BGT), with the BCCI booking the two players early flights to get some match-practice in the second unofficial Test between the 'A' teams from the two countries. While Rahul failed to impress in those two innings, Jurel's show turned the opportunity into a claim for a place in the eleven for the opening Test of the BGT in Perth.
With knocks of 80 and 68 while fast bowlers made life tough for the other Indian batsmen, Jurel impressed former Australia captain Tim Paine who sees no reason to not include the youngster as a specialist batsman for the Perth Test.
