The bigger reason is timing: when he walks in, the crowd already gets a short mental reset. In IPL 2026, batting behind Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal, Jurel\u2019s role can look almost \u201csupporting\u201d \u2014 until you measure the impact of his innings. His 21-ball fifty in the Eliminator against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), following Sooryavanshi\u2019s 97 off 29, offered a clear explanation of why Rajasthan Royals (RR) have entrusted him with the No. 3 spot.<\/p>\n<h2>Sooryavanshi &amp; Jurel\u2019s Eliminator swing<\/h2>\n<p>In that Eliminator, Sooryavanshi\u2019s 97 came briskly, taking RR close to a winning platform, and then Jurel accelerated with a rapid 50 from 21 balls. Together, the pair added 147 runs in just 50 deliveries. Remove that combined burst, and the picture changes: from the remaining RR batting contributions, there were only 96 runs left (with extras included).<\/p>\n<h3>What Ambati Rayudu highlighted<\/h3>\n<p>Ambati Rayudu described the value of a quick half-century, arguing that a 20-ball fifty is typically well above par across most playing conditions. He felt Jurel\u2019s knock looked like \u201csecond fiddle\u201d to Sooryavanshi\u2019s show, but insisted the overall difference in the match came through the two batters\u2019 ability to consistently push beyond the expected scoring rate.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Rayudu said a 20-ball fifty is always \u201cbrilliant\u201d and often sits above par on most surfaces.<\/li>\n<li>He rated Jurel\u2019s innings as close to match-winning in its own right.<\/li>\n<li>He argued that the swing factor was the extra 20 to 30 runs beyond par, which RR were able to generate through Sooryavanshi and Jurel.<\/li>\n<li>Rayudu added that, without those contributions, RR would have struggled significantly in the batting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>RR\u2019s batting picture that night<\/h2>\n<p>With the match unfolding the way it did, the rest of the RR order didn\u2019t have the same defining moments. Jaiswal, for instance, made 29 off 29 balls and carried his bat until the 11th over, without ever truly finding full momentum. The structure of the chase\u2014or the innings, depending on match context\u2014was steadied by Sooryavanshi\u2019s form, which meant other batters didn\u2019t need to force the issue as much.<\/p>\n<p>After Jaiswal\u2019s slower start, Riyan Parag contributed 26 from just 12 balls, but beyond that there wasn\u2019t much else from the RR middle order worth singling out.<\/p>\n<h2>Jurel\u2019s form across the season and why No. 3 fits<\/h2>\n<p>Earlier in the season, Aaron Finch had spoken highly of Jurel, saying he has \u201cthe complete game.\u201d Still, by early May, when RR had lost some of their early momentum and were beginning to slow down, Jurel was also viewed as part of the challenge.<\/p>\n<p>But the trajectory has shifted since then. RR are now in Qualifier 2, and Jurel\u2019s numbers underline why his position has become more prominent: he has amassed 508 runs at a strike rate of 155.35. If that figure doesn\u2019t immediately stand out compared to Sooryavanshi\u2019s 680 runs at a strike rate of 242.85, the context becomes clearer when you look at Jaiswal\u2019s output too \u2014 426 runs at a strike rate of 153.23.<\/p>\n<h3>Jurel on the No. 3 role and T20 demands<\/h3>\n<p>Speaking at the press conference after RR beat SRH, Jurel was cautious about claiming anything as \u201clocked in.\u201d He stressed how unforgiving T20 cricket has become: even totals around 240 or 250 are not automatically safe. His goal, he said, is to be the kind of player who can bat at multiple positions \u2014 three, five, or seven \u2014 and still read the match situation accurately enough to help win games.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Jurel said he hasn\u2019t \u201clocked\u201d anything regarding the No. 3 spot.<\/li>\n<li>He noted that T20 is now extremely tough, with 240 or 250 not guaranteeing safety.<\/li>\n<li>He wants to be adaptable across batting positions: three, five, and seven.<\/li>\n<li>His focus is on reading situations well and turning that into wins.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Building partnerships without sacrificing wickets<\/h3>\n<p>Jurel also explained how he tries to operate when Sooryavanshi and Jaiswal are in the middle. Rather than attempting to hit from both ends, he aims to build a partnership with them while protecting wickets. In his view, his job is to keep the innings stable and carry it forward.<\/p>\n<p>He added that he doesn\u2019t want the lower-middle order to be forced into batting in the 11th or 12th over. That\u2019s why he has been shaping his innings around building a platform for those later overs.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>When Sooryavanshi and Jaiswal are batting well, Jurel tries to build partnerships with them.<\/li>\n<li>He avoids \u201chit from both ends\u201d tactics that can cost wickets.<\/li>\n<li>He described his role as keeping the innings steady and moving it forward.<\/li>\n<li>He wants the lower-middle order to arrive earlier, not around the 11th or 12th over.<\/li>\n<li>He said his approach has been about creating a platform for the lower-middle order.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Confidence from the setup<\/h2>\n<p>Beyond technique, Jurel pointed to the confidence he receives from the team environment. He suggested that the entire group has become more fearless in batting, and that mindset is supported by the staff \u2014 how they back players and encourage them to commit to their roles.<\/p>\n<p>He said that if someone is told they\u2019ll get a long run in the team, it changes the way they bat. The message, he explained, is essentially to trust the plan and play with freedom because the backing is there.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Jurel said everyone has become more fearless while batting.<\/li>\n<li>He linked that fearlessness to the support staff\u2019s backing.<\/li>\n<li>He described a mindset shift when players are told they\u2019ll play a set number of matches.<\/li>\n<li>He said the \u201cmantra\u201d is that they back you, so you bat differently.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dhruv Jurel often slips under the radar, and that\u2019s only partly because he wears the wicketkeeper\u2019s gloves.
