Dhruv Jurel praises Rohit Sharma for giving him Pep Talk ahead of debut

Indian wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel was talking to Jatin Sapru on his YouTube channel. During the course of the chat, Jurel recounted how Rohit Sharma played a key role during his debut for India in Test cricket earlier this year. 

Dhruv Jurel said “I had eye contact with Rohit bhaiya on many occasions, but I couldn't muster the courage to talk to him. Then, he casually called me, 'idhar aa! (come here!)'. Rohit Sharma then went onto give a pep talk that helped the youngster. 

The Indian star went onto say “'Kya ho gaya? Sab badhiya? Tere me dum hai isliye tu aaya hai, tere me potential hai. Aaram se reh, bindaas. Pehli ball maarni hai, maar. Bas 100 percent sure hoke maariyo'

Recounting his first net session, Jurel said “Songs keep playing in the dressing room. It was completely new for me, because state dressing rooms don't have that environment. It's quite strict there. I was in the nets facing Raghu bhai, and I hit him for a very good drive. The very next ball, he gave me a scorching bouncer on the shoulder. Then, Axar and Iyer came to shake my hand. I was surprised that why are they shaking hands with me. They just said, ‘welcome to Indian cricket!’,”
