Dhruv Chand Jurel is an Indian right-handed wicketkeeper-batter from Agra, Uttar Pradesh, whose career has developed across Uttar Pradesh cricket, India’s age-group teams, Rajasthan Royals and the senior Indian side. Born on January 21, 2001, Jurel was part of India’s 2019 Under-19 Asia Cup-winning side and vice-captain of the 2020 Under-19 World Cup team before progressing into domestic cricket. He made his India Test debut against England in February 2024 and became a key contributor during the Ranchi Test with a 90 that helped India secure the series. By 2026, his red-ball credentials had strengthened further: he scored 125 against West Indies in 2025 and an unbeaten 115 against Sri Lanka in Colombo in August 2026. His IPL career has also accelerated, with 515 runs for Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2026.

The official IPL profile identifies Jurel as a wicketkeeper-batter, born January 21, 2001, and records his Rajasthan Royals career beginning in 2023.
Dhruv Jurel’s Childhood, Family and Cricketing Background
Jurel was born in Agra and grew up in a family in which cricket was not an established sporting tradition. His father, Nem Singh Jurel, served in the Indian Army and is a Kargil War veteran. His father’s military background initially influenced his preference for a secure career for his son rather than professional cricket. Jurel has repeatedly spoken about the sacrifices his parents made as his cricket ambitions developed.
His introduction to cricket came through a summer camp at school. What began as an interest quickly became a serious pursuit. His development eventually took him from Agra towards Noida, where he received more structured cricket training and exposure. ICC’s profile records his progression through Uttar Pradesh’s Under-14, Under-16 and Under-19 systems.
The Bat and Cricket Kit His Parents Sacrificed For
One of the most frequently documented parts of Jurel’s early story concerns the cost of cricket equipment.
His father recalled that even a bat costing around ₹800 was a significant expense for the family. Later, when Jurel wanted a full cricket kit, the cost became another obstacle. His mother pawned her gold chain to help finance the equipment. Jurel later described understanding the significance of that sacrifice more deeply as he matured.
The family story became especially significant after Jurel received his first IPL contract. According to reporting quoting his father, Jurel used part of his first ₹20-lakh IPL earnings to buy gold jewellery for his mother, connecting the gift directly to the jewellery she had previously sacrificed for his cricket.
Father’s Military Background
Jurel has publicly spoken with admiration about his father’s Army service and the Kargil War. When he scored his maiden Test century against West Indies in 2025, he used a military-style celebration and dedicated the achievement to the Indian Army and his father.
His family background therefore became part of his public cricket story, but it is important to distinguish the documented facts from broader claims sometimes repeated by biography websites.
Dhruv Jurel’s School, Academy and Early Development
Jurel’s early cricket development involved both Agra and Noida. One of the important figures in his formative years was coach Phool Chand Sharma, who helped him obtain exposure to stronger cricket environments after his move towards Noida.
An Indian Express profile reported that Jurel came to Billabong High School in Sector 34, Noida, in 2016 and trained under Sharma’s academy environment. The move increased his exposure to club cricket in Delhi and helped accelerate his development.
Another important coach in his early pathway was Parvendra Yadav, associated with Springdale Cricket Academy in Agra. Reporting on Jurel’s early years describes Yadav’s role in identifying his batting and cricketing ability.
Early Development Timeline
| Stage | Development |
|---|---|
| Agra | Began developing interest in cricket through school |
| Early youth cricket | Represented Uttar Pradesh at age-group level |
| Academy development | Trained in Agra and later moved into a stronger Noida/Delhi cricket environment |
| 2016 | Joined Billabong High School in Noida and received greater exposure to club cricket |
| 2018–19 | Progressed into Uttar Pradesh Under-19 cricket |
| 2019 | Part of India’s Under-19 Asia Cup-winning side |
| 2020 | India Under-19 World Cup vice-captain |
Dhruv Jurel’s Under-19 Career and Rise Through Youth Cricket
Jurel’s rise was accelerated by his performances in youth cricket. He represented Uttar Pradesh at Under-14, Under-16 and Under-19 levels, giving him a structured pathway into senior cricket.
One of the early performances that helped him gain attention came in a tournament in Meerut, where he scored an unbeaten 80 from 36 balls in a final while batting at No. 6. Indian Express reported that the innings contributed to his selection for Uttar Pradesh’s Under-19 setup.
His Under-19 progression then moved onto the international stage.
2019 Under-19 Asia Cup
Jurel was part of India’s successful Under-19 Asia Cup campaign in Sri Lanka in 2019. The tournament was an important step in his development and established him within India’s wider youth setup. ICC identifies him as a member of the India Under-19 side that won the 2019 Under-19 Asia Cup.
2020 Under-19 World Cup
Jurel was appointed vice-captain of India’s squad for the 2020 Under-19 World Cup in South Africa. India reached the final, where they finished runners-up to Bangladesh. His leadership responsibility at youth level became an important part of his progression toward senior cricket.
Dhruv Jurel’s Domestic Career for Uttar Pradesh
Jurel made his senior T20 debut for Uttar Pradesh in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy on January 10, 2021. His first-class debut followed on February 17, 2022, during the Ranji Trophy. His List A career began later, with his India A debut in the 2023 ACC Emerging Teams Asia Cup against UAE A.
His domestic progression is notable because he developed as both a wicketkeeper and middle-order batter rather than entering senior cricket solely as a specialist batter.
Domestic Career Milestones
| Date / Period | Milestone |
|---|---|
| 10 Jan 2021 | T20 debut for Uttar Pradesh |
| 17 Feb 2022 | First-class debut for Uttar Pradesh |
| 2022 | Rajasthan Royals acquisition |
| 14 Jul 2023 | List A debut for India A |
| 2025 | Selected as Central Zone captain for Duleep Trophy |
| 2026 | Led India A in the Sri Lanka multi-day series |
In June 2026, BCCI named Jurel captain and wicketkeeper of India A for the two-match multi-day series against Sri Lanka A.
Dhruv Jurel’s First-Class Career and Red-Ball Development
First-class cricket has become particularly important to Jurel’s development because his strongest international progress has come in Test cricket.
Before his Test breakthrough, he accumulated substantial experience for Uttar Pradesh and India A. His first-class performances also gave selectors evidence that his game could extend beyond the short-format role he had developed with Rajasthan Royals.
In 2026, he continued his red-ball progression with India A against Sri Lanka A. He scored 155 in the first unofficial Test and 53 in the second, finishing the series with 208 runs according to the IPL’s player data.
That India A form preceded his return to India’s Test setup.
Dhruv Jurel’s IPL Career With Rajasthan Royals
Rajasthan Royals signed Jurel at the 2022 IPL auction for ₹20 lakh. He did not make his IPL debut until 2023, when he was given an opportunity against Punjab Kings.
His debut immediately demonstrated the type of role he could play. Jurel scored an unbeaten 32 from 15 balls against Punjab Kings, beginning his IPL career as a lower-middle-order impact batter and wicketkeeper option.
IPL 2023: First Breakthrough
Jurel’s first IPL season established his reputation as an aggressive finisher. Rajasthan used him in a role that allowed him to attack late in innings, and his strike rate became one of the most visible features of his game.
The official IPL profile records a strike rate of 172.72 for his debut campaign.
IPL 2024: A More Established Role
Jurel’s second season showed progress rather than simply repeating his finishing role. His batting opportunities increased and his performances helped convince Rajasthan to retain him as part of their longer-term core.
IPL 2025: ₹14 Crore Retention
Ahead of IPL 2025, Rajasthan Royals retained Jurel for ₹14 crore. The retention represented a major increase from his original ₹20-lakh acquisition and placed him among the franchise’s principal retained Indian players.
Rajasthan retained six players for 2025, with Jurel alongside Sanju Samson, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Riyan Parag, Shimron Hetmyer and Sandeep Sharma.
In IPL 2025, Jurel scored 333 runs in 14 matches for Rajasthan at a strike rate of 156.34, according to the franchise’s 2026 profile.
IPL 2026: Jurel’s Most Productive Season
IPL 2026 became Jurel’s most productive season to date.
He scored 515 runs in 16 matches, averaging 36.79 at a strike rate of 154.65, with six fifties. Rajasthan Royals identified him as the team’s second-highest run-scorer for the season.
His 2026 campaign included several important innings.
| Opponent | Score | Balls | Significance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gujarat Titans | 75 | 42 | At the time his highest T20/IPL score |
| Royal Challengers Bengaluru | 81* | 43 | New IPL career-high |
| Other 2026 matches | Multiple 50+ scores | — | Finished season with six fifties |
Against Gujarat Titans, Jurel made 75 from 42 balls with five fours and five sixes, taking his previous T20 best of 70.
He later surpassed that score with an unbeaten 81 from 43 balls against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Rajasthan’s season summary records 81* as his highest IPL score in 2026.
By the end of IPL 2026, Jurel had accumulated 1,195 IPL runs in 58 matches, according to the current IPL statistical database, with a career strike rate above 154.
IPL Career Summary
| Season | Matches | Runs | Average | Strike Rate | 50s |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 13 | 152 | 21.71 | 172.73 | 0 |
| 2024 | 15 | 195 | 24.38 | 138.30 | 2 |
| 2025 | 14 | 333 | 37.00 | 156.34 | 2 |
| 2026 | 16 | 515 | 36.79 | 154.65 | 6 |
| Career | 58 | 1,195 | 31.45 | 154.19 | 10 |
The season-by-season figures are from Rajasthan Royals’ current player profile.
Dhruv Jurel’s India Test Career
Jurel received his first India Test call-up for the 2024 England series and made his debut in Rajkot on February 15, 2024. He entered the side during a period when India were managing changes in their wicketkeeping setup.
His first Test innings produced a useful 46, but his defining contribution came in the next Test at Ranchi.
Explore Dhruv Jurel's complete Test stats
The 90 at Ranchi Against England
In the fourth Test against England in Ranchi, Jurel scored 90 from 149 balls in India’s first innings.
India had fallen to 177/7 after England had posted 353. Jurel then built a crucial partnership with Kuldeep Yadav before continuing with Akash Deep. His innings helped India reduce a potentially damaging deficit and keep the match within reach.
Jurel’s wicketkeeping also contributed significantly to India’s victory. His performance was recognized with the Player of the Match award, making him one of the relatively small number of Indian wicketkeepers to receive that recognition in Test cricket.
India subsequently chased 192 successfully, with Jurel unbeaten on 39 alongside Shubman Gill’s 52*.
Dhruv Jurel’s Maiden Test Century Against West Indies
Jurel’s first Test century arrived against West Indies in Ahmedabad in October 2025.
He scored 125 from 210 balls, hitting 15 fours and three sixes. His innings formed part of India’s huge first-innings total and became the first Test century of his career.
The innings also carried personal significance because Jurel dedicated the century to the Indian Army and his father, a Kargil veteran.
115* in Colombo: His Second Test Century
Jurel’s next major red-ball milestone came in the second Test against Sri Lanka in Colombo in August 2026.
He finished 115 not out from 177 balls, with nine fours and two sixes. It was his second Test century and his first hundred outside India.
The innings developed through partnerships. Jurel added 112 with Rishabh Pant for the seventh wicket and later 31 with Mohammed Siraj for the ninth wicket. India declared on 503/9, with Jurel unbeaten.
His innings also illustrated his developing approach to Test batting. Jurel told ICC that he seeks advice from Pant, particularly because both are wicketkeepers who bat in the middle order, while maintaining his own plan for attacking particular bowlers.
Test Milestones
- Test debut: February 15, 2024, Rajkot, against England.
- First Test fifty: his 90 at Ranchi was his first major Test innings.
- First Test century: 125 vs West Indies, Ahmedabad, 2025.
- Second Test century: 115* vs Sri Lanka, Colombo, 2026.
- First overseas Test fifty: 51 vs Sri Lanka in Galle in August 2026.
- First overseas Test century: 115* vs Sri Lanka in Colombo.
By the end of the Sri Lanka Test tour, the current statistical record showed Jurel with two Test centuries, including the 125 against West Indies and 115* against Sri Lanka. The available aggregate sources are not fully synchronized on post-2026 totals, so the individual milestone figures are preferable for publication over an unsupported aggregate copied from an older database.
Dhruv Jurel’s T20I Career
Jurel made his T20I debut for India against Zimbabwe in Harare on July 6, 2024. He scored six in his first international T20 innings.
His T20I opportunities have been considerably more limited than his Test opportunities. The current statistical record reviewed lists four T20I appearances and 12 runs, with a highest score of six.
Jurel’s limited T20I record should not be confused with his much larger domestic and IPL T20 sample, where his role and output have been considerably more substantial.

Dhruv Jurel’s ODI Status and 2026 India Selection
Jurel had not made his senior ODI debut in the sources reviewed by September 30, 2026, but his involvement in India’s ODI setup increased during 2026.
In January 2026, BCCI named Jurel as Rishabh Pant’s replacement for India’s ODI series against New Zealand after Pant suffered an oblique muscle tear.
More importantly for his current international position, BCCI included Jurel in India’s ODI squad for the September-October 2026 home series against West Indies. The squad announcement listed him among India’s wicketkeeping options alongside KL Rahul.
That selection makes his ODI pathway an important current search topic, even though squad selection should not be described as an ODI appearance.
Dhruv Jurel as India A Captain
Jurel’s leadership responsibilities expanded in 2026.
BCCI appointed him captain and wicketkeeper of India A for the two-match multi-day series against Sri Lanka A in June-July 2026. The squad also included players such as Sai Sudharsan, Devdutt Padikkal, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Harsh Dubey.
Jurel scored 155 in the first match and 53 in the second, giving him 208 runs across the series according to the IPL’s player statistics.
The captaincy assignment added another dimension to his development: he was no longer only being evaluated as a wicketkeeper-batter, but was also being trusted with leadership responsibility at India A level.
Dhruv Jurel’s 2025 Duleep Trophy Captaincy
Jurel was also named captain and wicketkeeper of Central Zone for the 2025 Duleep Trophy. The Central Zone squad included Rajat Patidar, Aryan Juyal, Kuldeep Yadav, Deepak Chahar and other established domestic players.
His leadership pathway therefore spans:
- India Under-19 vice-captain
- Central Zone captain
- India A captain
- senior international squad member
These roles provide a useful picture of his progression beyond batting and wicketkeeping.
Dhruv Jurel’s Major Records and Milestones
| Milestone | Detail |
|---|---|
| 2019 | India Under-19 Asia Cup winner |
| 2020 | India Under-19 World Cup vice-captain |
| 2023 | IPL debut for Rajasthan Royals |
| 2024 | Test debut for India |
| 2024 | Player of the Match against England in Ranchi |
| 2024 | T20I debut against Zimbabwe |
| 2025 | ₹14 crore Rajasthan Royals retention |
| 2025 | Maiden Test century, 125 vs West Indies |
| 2025 | Central Zone captain in Duleep Trophy |
| 2026 | India A captain in Sri Lanka |
| 2026 | 515 IPL runs, his most productive IPL season |
| 2026 | IPL career passed 1,000 runs |
| 2026 | Second Test century, 115* vs Sri Lanka |
| 2026 | Included in India’s ODI squad vs West Indies |
Rajasthan Royals confirmed that Jurel crossed 1,000 IPL runs during the 2026 season.
Dhruv Jurel’s Playing Style
Jurel’s role is built around the combination of wicketkeeping and right-handed middle-order batting.
His IPL development has shown an ability to score rapidly, particularly in situations where Rajasthan need acceleration. His 2026 strike rate of 154.65 and six fifties demonstrate the attacking side of his T20 game.
His Test career has shown a different side. The 90 at Ranchi required him to absorb pressure after India lost wickets, while the 125 against West Indies and 115* against Sri Lanka demonstrated his ability to build long innings.
Jurel himself has explained that he approaches Test batting according to the situation and identifies particular bowlers to attack rather than attempting to copy the more aggressive style of Rishabh Pant.
His career therefore currently contains two distinct batting profiles:
- T20/IPL: aggressive middle-order scoring and finishing.
- Test cricket: situational batting, partnership building and long-innings construction.
His wicketkeeping remains an important part of his selection value, particularly because India have multiple wicketkeeper-batter options competing for international places.

Dhruv Jurel’s Key Partnerships and Match Contributions
Several partnerships have played an important role in defining Jurel’s career.
Jurel and Kuldeep Yadav — Ranchi, 2024
The partnership with Kuldeep Yadav during the Ranchi Test helped India recover from 177/7 and reduce England’s first-innings advantage. Jurel eventually made 90.
Jurel and Shubman Gill — Ranchi, 2024
In India’s chase of 192, Jurel remained unbeaten on 39 while Gill scored 52*. Their unbeaten partnership of 72 completed India’s five-wicket victory and sealed India’s series advantage.
Jurel and Rishabh Pant — Colombo, 2026
In the second Test against Sri Lanka, Jurel and Pant added 112 for the seventh wicket. Jurel later described seeking Pant’s advice because of their shared wicketkeeping and middle-order roles.
Jurel and Manav Suthar — Galle, 2026
During his 51 in the first Sri Lanka Test, Jurel added a 55-run partnership with Manav Suthar, helping India push beyond 400.
Dhruv Jurel’s Awards and Recognition
The most notable individual recognition of Jurel’s senior international career came during the 2024 England series.
His performance in Ranchi, combining 90 with important wicketkeeping contributions, earned him the Player of the Match award.
At youth level, his leadership role in India’s 2019 Under-19 Asia Cup-winning team and 2020 Under-19 World Cup side also represented major milestones.
Dhruv Jurel’s Contracts and Earnings
The best-documented major financial figure in Jurel’s cricket career is his IPL remuneration.
Rajasthan Royals originally acquired him for ₹20 lakh at the 2022 auction. He was later retained for ₹14 crore ahead of IPL 2025.
The ₹14-crore figure is a documented franchise retention amount, not evidence of Jurel’s total annual income or personal wealth.
No dependable public source reviewed for this biography establishes a verified personal net-worth figure. Online net-worth estimates should therefore not be presented as fact.
Dhruv Jurel’s Religion, Personal Relationships and Private Life
Jurel’s family background and sporting development have been publicly documented in considerable detail, but reliable sources do not establish every personal-life claim that appears on biography websites.
In particular, claims about relationships, marriage, girlfriend status, private addresses and other personal details should not be treated as verified simply because they appear on aggregation sites.
The documented public record is strongest on his parents, father’s Army background, childhood cricket development, coaches and professional career.
