In the midst of MS Dhoni's impact being felt in the cricketing community, the rise of Dhruv Jurel as a bright prospect has spurred conversations reminiscent of the former Indian captain's early years. Former India captain Sourav Ganguly has refrained from comparing rookie wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel to the legendary MS Dhoni, despite Jurel's remarkable performance in the fourth Test against England in Ranchi. Jurel was the hero for India at Dhoni's hometown, helping the team win the series 3-1 with his outstanding batting under duress. Many people, including the famous commentator Sunil Gavaskar, compared the teenager to Dhoni. However, Ganguly provided a balanced viewpoint, stating that while Jurel had incredible skill, it is too early to compare him to an all-time great such as Dhoni. Dhruv Jurel… what a Test match he had under pressure on a difficult wicket. There is huge talent and if you miss you and you go back down in the ladder, it will be very hard to come back. ' Ganguly told RevSportz. Jurel's debut on the international scene has been nothing short of amazing. From his impressive debut in Rajkot to his important efforts in Ranchi, he has demonstrated maturity above his years. His ability to flourish under duress and adapt to difficult situations says volumes about his potential. He struck a gutsy 46 in his maiden innings, followed by a superb match-winning effort of 90 in Ranchi when India was in trouble. He then went undefeated at 39, leading India to a historic victory in Dhoni's hometown. Ganguly recognised the parallels between Jurel and Dhoni, particularly Jurel's match-winning 90 in the first innings in Ranchi.
