'Aap Dono Se Zamaana Hai': Dhruv Jurel Thanks His Parents For Their Sacrifices After Maiden India Call-Up

With uncapped Indian keeper-batter Dhruv Jurel receiving his maiden call-up to the Test squad ahead of the five-match series against England, the 22-year-old couldn't conceal his pride. The youngster took to his official handle on X and shared a picture of video-calling his parents by writing a heartwarming caption.

On Friday, the BCCI announced the squad for the first two Tests, with Jurel getting receiving a call-up. While the Uttar Pradesh-born cricketer has impressed in the IPL, he has had a promising first-class career. In 15 matches, the right-hander has made 790 runs at 46.47 with a best of 249.

Jurel took to X and wrote the below caption by thanking his parents for their sacrifices:

"Thank you will be an understatement. For all the sacrifices my mother and father have made, so that their boy could hold a bat and just play cricket. I promise this is just the start. Mummy, papa, aap dono se zamaana hai. Aur abhi bohot naam kamaana hai!"

Team India's Test squad:

Rohit Sharma (C), Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (WK), KS Bharat (WK), Dhruv Jurel (WK), Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohd. Siraj, Mukesh Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah (VC), Avesh Khan.

Mohammed Shami is the notable name missing from the squad as he heals from an ankle injury. He is likely to be part of the squad for the remaining 3 Tests.
