There is a song from Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan’s film ‘Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak’ – ‘Papa kehte hain, beta naam karega…’. According to the lyrics of that song, a father has expectations from his son. But, the case of Dhruv Jurel is a little different. Here Dhruv Jurel is seen fulfilling his father’s orders like an obedient son. He does not let his father’s words go in vain. Whenever the father asked him to do something, the son Dhruv did it. All this seems to be happening on the cricket field. In IPL 2024, the match between Lucknow Super Giants and Rajasthan Royals was seen for the second time on April 27. That is why celebration was also seen along with the salute.
Whatever I did was for dad: Dhruv Jurel
Dhruv Jurel’s salute celebration was first seen in the news of the India-England Test series played before the start of IPL 2024. Then, on the advice of his father, Dhruv Jurel played a big inning at a crucial time in the Ranchi Test match and celebrated by giving a salute. When Dhruv Jurel did the same by scoring a half-century against LSG on the Lucknow pitch, he was asked – I did this for father.
Dhruv Jurel played the biggest innings of IPL against his family
Actually, Dhruv Jurel’s father has been in the Indian Army and has also fought the Kargil war against Pakistan. In such a situation, Dhruv knows about Jurel’s respect for his soldier father. The match against LSG in IPL 2024 on April 27 was special for Dhruv Jurel as not only his father but his entire family reached the stadium to watch it. Now that all the family members are in the stadium, obviously the performance of the beloved son should be a little different. Hence, Dhruv Jurel performed as his father and the rest of the family expected.
Scored the first fifty in IPL
Rajasthan Royals wicketkeeper batsman Dhruv Jurel played an unbeaten inning of 52 runs in 34 balls against LSG, which is the first half-century of his IPL career. After this precious half-century innings, Dhruv Jurel once again saluted his father.
Whatever I did, I did for Papa
His statement after the match revealed that Dhruv Jurel did it again for his father. Dhruv Jurel said that he had also done a salute celebration during the test match against England and now once again he got a chance to do so. According to Dhruv, this time the salute celebration has more importance because his father has come to watch the match.
The family came to the field after the first fifty in IPL!
After the salute celebration, Dhruv Jurel celebrated his first fifty in IPL with his entire family. After the match, his entire family descended on the field, including his father, whom Dhruv was seen meeting and hugging.
As far as the match is concerned, Dhruv Jurel has played a special role in helping Rajasthan Royals win. He took the side of captain Sanju Samson. Together they made a century partnership for the fourth wicket and gave victory to Rajasthan Royals.
