Dhruv Jurel faces a critical juncture in his cricket career, with 2025 presenting mixed results. Despite a promising Test debut, he has struggled to secure a permanent place in the Indian team across formats. Intense competition and an inability to perform in crucial matches have hampered his progress. While selected as a specialist batter, his recent scores against South Africa were disappointing, leading to scrutiny, especially after India's series loss. However, Jurel continues to score heavily in domestic tournaments like the Vijay Hazare Trophy, indicating his potential.
