“When you are around him, you feel that aura” – Dhruv Jurel on Virat Kohli’s most inspiring quality

India’s rookie wicket-keeper bat Dhruv Jurel has opened up on playing alongside Virat Kohli. Jurel has impressed in his young career and he will look to keep up the good show. The right-hander made his Test debut for India against England in home conditions, earlier in the year.

The 23-year-old scored 190 runs at an average of 63.33 in three Test matches against the visitors. Furthermore, Jurel has impressed as a finished while playing for RR in he IPL. Meanwhile, Virat Kohli is known for his work ethic and passion and he has played a key role in inspiring young players like Dhruv Jurel.

Jurel said in an interview with Sportstak, “I always try to learn because he is a legend of cricket. So I think how he was made, what he did in the background. Always curious to learn new things. So whenever I talked to him, I only talked about cricket and when you are around him, you feel that aura that Virat Kohli is there.”

“So that is a good thing that we feel that we have to do something that we also feel that people have come to ask, that there is aura. Because he has played for like 15 years for India and he has always dominated. So that thing is very inspiring. So I will try to bring that thing in,” he added.

On the other hand, Jurel had the experience of playing under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma in the Test series against England. The Rajasthan Royals batter said Rohit is very chill and leads from the front to make players comfortable.

“To be honest he (Rohit) is very chill. He will talk to you. He is not like you are a senior or junior. He always talks very casually. If you need any help just come over. I don’t have any problem. He is normal. He makes you feel comfortable,” Jurel said in the same conversation.

Jurel will next take part in the UP T20 competition.
