'Jai Jawan, Jai Kisaan': Dhruv Jurel Celebrates Century, Flaunts New Tattoo In IND Vs SL 2nd Test | VIDEO

Dhruv Jurel put on a batting masterclass on Day 2 of the IND vs SL 2nd Test in Colombo. Jurel stroked a stunning century to put India on top in the match. It was his second Test century and the Rajasthan Royals star flaunted a new tattoo on his bicep, saying 'Jai Jawan, Jai Kisaan'.

Jurel was demoted to No.7 with Ravindra Jadeja promoted ahead at No.6. That seemed to have ticked a switch in Jurel, who put on a composed batting display. The Rajasthan Royals star did not take undue risks, stitching vital partnerships along the way to stretch India closer to 500.

He found an ally in Mohammad Siraj who stayed at his end to help Jurel get to the milestone. It wasn't without drama with Jurel stranded on 95 when rain intervened. When the action resumed, Jurel was stuck on 99 for more than 3 overs, before a risky single saw him get to the three-figure mark.

After reaching the milestone, Jurel got his helmet and flexed his biceps with the cameras focusing on his tattoo. The Uttar Pradesh keeper had inked the words 'Jai Jawan, Jai Kisaan' on his arm.

The quote is a slogan by former India Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri. Jurel, like Shastri, hails from Uttar Pradesh and his tattoo could just be an ode to his roots.
