Rinku Singh pens heartfelt message for brother Dhruv Jurel

Rinku Singh, poured his heart out in a touching tribute to his close friend and teammate, Dhruv Jurel, following the latter’s heroic innings against England in the Ranchi Test on Sunday, February 25th.

Jurel emerged as the shining star for India amidst a challenging situation, showcasing remarkable resilience with the bat. His innings not only salvaged the team from a precarious position but also earned him accolades from cricketing legends like Sunil Gavaskar, who likened him to the legendary MS Dhoni.

Deep bond between Dhruv Jurel and Rinku Singh

The deep camaraderie between Jurel and Rinku was unveiled in an interview, where the wicketkeeper revealed Rinku as his roommate and confidant. Jurel shared how Rinku was the first person he reached out to after his stellar performance, slamming five sixes in the IPL against Gujarat Titans last year.

Rinku post in his Instagram, “ मेरे भाई, सपने साकार करने का समय आ गया है।🥹🇮🇳.” That means, “My brother, it’s time to make dreams come true.”

In the Ranchi Test, Jurel’s innings mirrored the tenacity of Dhoni himself. Stepping up when India needed him the most, Jurel played a pivotal role in steering the team out of trouble. His gritty 90-run knock, coupled with a vital 77-run partnership alongside Kuldeep Yadav, showcased his composure under pressure.

Despite Kuldeep’s departure, Jurel continued to dominate the England spinners, displaying maturity beyond his years. His aggressive approach ensured that India not only narrowed the deficit but also remained firmly in contention to turn the tide of the match.

In an interview Jurel told, “He is Lord Rinku (laughs). He is a very nice and humble person. He is also my roommate. When he hit five sixes (against Gujarat Titans in IPL 2023), he called me first. He called and asked kaisa laga? bata na kaisa laga?’ (How was it? Tell me how did you feel?’ He then asked – ‘Mere baare mein baat chal rahi thi kya?’ Were people talking about me?).”

Jurel’s performance not only frustrated the England bowlers but also underlined his potential as a future stalwart in Indian cricket. As the cricketing world lauds his remarkable innings, it’s evident that Jurel’s partnership with Rinku extends beyond the cricket field, reflecting a bond that transcends boundaries.
