Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former India batter Ambati Rayudu believes that wicketkeeper-batter Dhruv Jurel deserves greater recognition after the youngster produced a composed, match-winning knock to guide Rajasthan Royals to a six-wicket victory over Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 on Friday.

Chasing a challenging 202, Rajasthan rode on a blistering start from Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who smashed 78 off just 26 balls, before Jurel anchored the innings with an unbeaten 81 off 43 deliveries, his highest score in T20 cricket, to seal the chase with two overs to spare at the Baraspara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati.

Impressed by his temperament and skill, Rayudu said Jurel is an “amazing talent” who is currently not getting his due recognition.
