In a clinical display of power hitting, Indian wicketkeeper-batter Dhruv Jurel smashed his maiden List ‘A’ century during the Uttar Pradesh vs. Baroda clash. Jurel reached the triple-figure mark in just 78 balls and finished with a staggering 160* runs, asserting total dominance over the opposition.
Promoted to number 3, the 24-year-old dismantled the Baroda bowling attack, racking up 15 boundaries and 8 towering sixes. He was particularly ruthless against Rasikh Salam, plundering an incredible 55 runs off just 14 deliveries!
On the back of Jurel’s explosive innings, Uttar Pradesh posted a massive total of 369/7.
Jurel has been in sublime form throughout the 2025–26 VHT season, with his consistency speaking for itself:
🔹 Half-century vs. Hyderabad
🔹 Half-century vs. Chandigarh
🔹 And now, the much-awaited maiden century!
With this performance, Dhruv Jurel has once again proven that he is ready for the biggest stages in world cricket.
